Filled this up today before heading through to the Unit to tinker..



How close to 481 miles do we reckon I'll get? 70L tank.

Place bets now!


Once at the unit, the plan was to find out what the rattle was from the drivers side front - I got all set up



Then got a call from my dad saying he had a puncture - so I had to load back up and head out to help him.

Once back and jacked, the fault was obvious - the anti-roll bar bracket has rusted away and the rubber bush has disappeared.



Hopefully it's an easy enough fix.

That identified, it was time to sort out the outside of the car - a wash and wax were the order of the day..



And the manky wheels had a seeing to as well.



The paint is crap, but they cleaned up ok.

Overall, it looks much more presentable!
