I modified the oil cooler lines today so they take a more direct route to the cooler away from sharp edges.

I was supposed to pick the tyres up in the morning, but the clown selling them wasnt available utill later in the day. I eventually picked them up and after 2 trips in the mighty Festiva had them back at home by 4.30pm.

Tony arrived around 1.30 pm and we started undoing the body mounts, radiator shroud, steering linkages etc.

When I went to pick up the tyres Tony removed the back seat and all floor carpets and mats....suprisingly little rust was found.

When I returned we tried jacking the body from the fron but it seemed to only move the very front of the body and nothing at all down at the second mounts.....so we moved the jack to the side of the car just at the join at the front of the doors. This worked out well and allows us to get at the 3 forward mounts on each side....only issue, we need 2 jacks (one per side) to do this properly. As it was getting towards tea time we decided to call it quits for the day so Tony could go home to Mel and the kids.

I rested the new tyres up against the side of the Rangie.....now you can see why we are putting the body lift in.

That's gonna look sooooo cool!

If you need another jack, yell out mate.
I've got a hilift and trolley jack you guys can borrow for the buildup.
