July's update then , still nada lol as been messing with the 850s awd cousin seen as I'm not allowed a work vehicle anymore I needed a car for work and back etc . Now the car is in the shed

It's smoking extremely well now so it's not coming back out till fixed . So while waiting for parts and still waiting for the new Focal slate fibre speakers I've bought all new cables and rca's and 5 channel amp ready for the single din Alpine HU .



Got under the rear and had a look at the bushings that need to be done , looks pretty simple apart from those delta links . Specific tool required for those . Now do I change the matrix and heater hoses now or once the head gasket and valve stem seals are done ? Make sense to do it after hey. Mental reminder to self , ring Jimbo , Jim inlet manifold mate ? I've got this for it

Plenty to get on with , I'd like to take the interior out and put in new sound deadening soon as well ..
