Its in shoeburyness. Basically follow southend seafront all the way to the end. Turn right after the bend then right after the playground, follow that road and youre there. Its all apartments but clearly were barracks at some point. Theres remnants of the fort very close by. Im gonna get some autumn pics there as the road is covered in fallen leaves and will look great.

Thinking about it now, i should have had the car facing forward in the archway.

So today saw the trailing arm bolts and bushes changed. Passenger side bolt was bent and drivers side looks fine. Both bushes needed changing. All was changed for new.

I have to admit, this was a real bitch of a job. Probably karma for how easy i found the clutch slave perhaps but damn, i do not want to do this job again. I think for me, it was on par with the accumulator. No victory grin today.

Still its done now and i can forget about them for a while. Also, whilst i was under the car, i noted the clutch line and that looks to be quite a straight forward job.

Once every ten years if you take my experience!

Have you got the original springs on the front on yours by the way?

I like the plate. I will be carrying the legal ones in the car so will see if i can blag it at the time. If not, ill pay the fine and get a yellow one made up in that style and put the current white one on the front. It just looks so damn nice though and its fitting for the car

Yes i have. Hate them and they will be changed. I will probably change them when i go to change the LBJs and LCAs. Would rather do the while job in one go. Not sure when that will happen though.

Definitely! The first pic is my favorite, great capture of the light as it shines through the silhouette of the car 8-)
