My "Murdered" VR6

[dark]

Man I am going to need to get busy tomorrow!!

[Golf-Sam]

Get it done bro !! i couldnt wait when i got my coilovers !! did it first thing in the morning ! then things started jiggling b4 the springs sat in ..

[dark]

Well I dint make it with the car to sedf, but still showed up with my girl but then it pissed rain and she was over it so I ended up bailing after an hour!
Here's where i was at at about 8.00Pm saturday night!

A quick mockup with my shiney gloss black boleros - still waiting on adapters and tyres.

work under way and times running out!


Killed some time after breaking an 18mm socket and decided to do the joey mod and stick some stickers!!

Man this was a bastard!!

front ones are in!! Now the back to go this week!

[Jarred]

front's are most of the challenge! rears are pretty straight forward (helps if you have long arms, or a friend)

Good work!

good work i broke so many different tools before we decided to drill the nuts on my front ones off :/

back ones are muchh easier

[dark]

Yeah I was hoping the back ones would be easier!

last coil install and do you think I can get the goddamn lower bolt undone! I am starting to round off the bolt head!! So annoying!

It's a simple 4 step process really in this situation!

Step 1. Grind head off bolt
Step 2. Walk to Repco to buy replacement bolt
Step 3. Fit new components
Step 4. Enjoy

Looking forward to seeing this.

Reminds me of all the European car DIY video's that say "Make sure you use penetrating fluid" aka WD40

[dark]

cant grind the head off - its a threaded bolt - that would make a bad situation ALOT worse!! haha! Penetrating fluid aka wd40 has been used to no avail - I will have to see if my ****ty tools are the issue! I will beat this car into submission!

windows down is the only way to go in a vr6 anyway
