Re: Need help removing the rear seat latches

It's both sides. Hitch of a job to get out. I was 'Lucky' as I was cutting the inner part of that rear panel out under the car which made getting the foam out easier.

Re: What Welder

Also, get a large bottle regulator and get a hobbled bottle. Works out a lot cheaper than the disposable ones.

Re: this could be the new capri in years to come

I quite like it for a modern take on the old. Would like it to retain the twin head lights of the old. and obviously the rear wheel drive. ok it might not be a legend in the making but time is the only thing that can tell on that one.

Re: Siezed front brakes

WD has been sprayed will get done tonight as well. Can't grind lip off the disc as I can't turn the sod. Changing the calipers to Volvo 4pots (as per spannerfodder) so new discs and pads are sat here waiting to go on. Was thinking of just unbolting the caliper and knocking it off as not too bothered...

Siezed front brakes

Not attempted it yet, but what is the best way to get the front calipers off when they are siezed on solid. they are that tight that I am assuming I am going to have problems pulling them off past the little rim caused by wear on the disc. No doubt will have to destroy the pads. which I'm not bother...

I modified Audi 80 wing mirrors to fit mine similar shape to the original drivers mirror and you can see out of the passenger side one as well. Bonus.

Re: Rear Brakes

Got the drums off. possibly not the ridge on the edge of the drum, there are 2 grooves running round the drum and the shoes have adopted this shape, so I assume the ridges created on the shoes were stuck in the grooves. the reason the shoes wouldn't slacken of was 2 fold, handbrake mechanism stuck, ...
