I fitted the bottom arms and tie rods. Painted brake servo and master cylinder. I also put the pads back in a front brake caliper and cleaned and painted the other one. Getting there slowly.

Treated max to a heavy duty stainless wiper kit from minispares (MSSK031) with all the nice shiney bits. He's all blinged up now :D
