Good progress tonight, replaced the hub assembly on the car tonight, so thats the last of the components that I damaged with my 'little off' last year replaced. Both of my front wheels now sit vertically, just the way Peugeot intended!

Also, got my new top mount on and fixed my leaking exhaust.

I've earned a beer now. Coilovers arrive hopefully next week, and I'm really looking forward to driving it with them on.

Mine won't be vertical for long. I ordered up those compbrake topmounts to give me a little negative camber with the coilies.

If removing it would incapacitate me? Then probably yes!

I can put some carbide teeth in there if you like, I don't think the pads will last too long though.

Like, 1 stop LOL

Still waiting for bits to arrive, so today I set about removing all of the spot-welded in brackets left behind when you remove the rear seats. Found a few redundant brackets underneath the car which will be recieving the attention of a spot-weld drill...Also the headliner went in preparation for the cage. Floormats are surprisingly heavy!

Car now sounds very boomy with the headliner out but that's to be expected I guess. Ordered my LSD from Thieves who surprisingly gave me the best quote
