    It’s been an expensive month! £300 for new beam plus nearly £400 on rebuilding bits plus koni shocks!

    I’ve not replaced everything btw. I only replaced 1 ball joint (although had to buy another as the guy screwed up the first one so I took it elsewhere). I refreshed the rubber boots on everything else. I’ve not replaced the brake shoes. I’ve not looked at the front calipers yet so suspect I’ve still more to spend. Probably over £500 thinking about it (gave up keeping track tbh)! Shocks were £380ish so a grand all in isn’t far off!

  7. Having a few weeks off the bay hit a low point on motivation
    But on the other hand started to finish of another job which is kitting out the back of the t4
    Insulated
    Ply lined
    Carpet lined
    Hopefully couple more weeks and it will be done and then back on with the bay [​IMG]
