Hey guys, haven't had the chance to do anything on the car for a number of weeks now. I have been working longer hours than usual and weekends. Time has not been my friend. Hopefully will be able to get to her in the next few weeks, next thing on the agenda is replacing the rear diff bushes and i will be replacing the RTAB's too.

Rear diff bush is a mission. My one was done when I did the manual conversion. I watched them change it. They had to moor with some mad power and while it was done on the lift.

Yep, I believe it's a mission. I will be removing the whole diff assembly and the rear suspension as I want to check all the parts over properly and replace anything that needs replacing.

Well, it looks like she might have to go, along with the Fiesta. My little brother has been diagnosed with the big C and I will be paying the bills. Looks like his medical won't be covering as he only changed to them in April. Will know more in the next couple of weeks, but in the meantime having to pay everything up front. So, at the moment, she is just sitting looking at me with sad eyes. Will keep this updated if she has to go or not.

Thank you chaps. I hope it all works out well in the end too. It's a very trying time at this stage. It's terrible to see someone in his condition, especially when it's your little brother.

Luigi strength and perseverance to you and you little brother, hoping there's a speedy recovery.

If you do have to sell the mean greenie I hope you get a price that reflects the amazing effort you have put into it.

Thanks again guys. It has been confirmed he is at stage 4. Had his first bout of chemo this morning, now apparently he needs some injections to counter that to help his white cell levels. Bills pile up so quickly with this illness, you don't want to know what we are sitting on already.

Just got to keep positive that he will come out of this OK, I don't care what the cost is. He has a 3 year old daughter, so he has to be around for many years to come, no option.

Thank you, but knowing how things work, I highly doubt that. I won't even come close to breaking even.

Hi Guys

This car will definitely be for sale now. My brother passed away on the 26th November due to complications in emergency surgery. Bills have ramped up and with still more to come.

I will create a for sale thread soon, but the first with 60k will take it as is. It hurts to give it away at this price, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done to make it perfect.

I am really sorry to hear about the loss of your brother.
