I replaced the front suspension bushes, put turbo tie rods on, fitted new brake discs, wheel bearings and pads on the 914
All in one day. I'm knackered!! And cold
Rear suspension bushes on weds and then onto the engine...

Good work! I hope you were shelter from the elements. It wasn't a great w/e to be working outside.

Amongst other things, fitted new ITG filters to my Jenvey ITBs - specially made to give more of an old school look.

That was good going....can tell you it took a heck of a lot longer to do the same at the rear on mine.
Trust you got the right tie rods in the end

Great story Russ, 5 hours round trip to buy cheese and kippers, in a classic 911 race car, in February.
Doesn't get any more proper than that mate!

Russ:
looks a great day out, car looks superb, and all the better it is dirty!
Today was like a spring day here (West Mids) so soon all the salt will be gone and some mid week runs to Wales planned.
It is good taking early retirement!
