So, quite early Sunday morning good friend Dave Maton arrived, and we wasted no time in starting where I had finished off Saturday afternoon.
All parts were thoroughly cleaned before being re-fitted with particular attention being paid to the front wheel bearings, hubs and carriers. Once all this was done, we then about bleeding the brakes until we had a decent brake pedal.
With the brakes sorted we then re-fitted the wheels and lowered the car back onto the floor. Normally we would have taken the car for a test drive to settle the springs and shocks and then adjusted the coil overs to the required ride height. However, seeing as I hadn't yet ordered the new rear springs there was little point as we would have no idea what the required ride height will be until the new rear springs are fitted.
A small job of replacing the temperature gauge then followed and we then decided to go to the cafe for dinner. It was now gone 1pm and neither of us had eaten, so we were both hungry.
The sun was shining so I decided to take the Zetec Cortina to the cafe and go for a small run out after. It had been a successful day and we had achieved everything we intended.
