Well I fixed my brake issues today. 1 fitting was just a little loose, and the new hose from the body to axle just needed a crush washer on it and it sealed up fine. Bled the entire system again and it seems to work well. I have a slight rubbing noise from the left rear disc when I go around left turns. ( I think it may be the dust shield. It looks a tad bent at the top edge.

The e-fan keeps the car chillin. The new gearing seems a bit quicker. Hard to tell. It's been too long since I drove it enough. I guess Stu or Tim and I will need to "compare"

I reaasembled the bodywork today as well. I really need to drive it

Then I will tear back into it for the rest of the paintwork/ bodywork.

A word of CAUTION: Please be carefull if you are ever working in the storage bin areas, The edges of the metal are EXTREMELY sharp!! I silced a big chunk out of my hand that just flaps back and forth. Since I am 1 of the 50 Million uninsured, It was going to cost me 600.00 at the local urgent care for stitches

I am forced to work with butterfly bandages and super glue

Anyways, BE CAREFULL.!!!
