Fitted some LED rear lights to the Challenger. Now that it's working properly I can finally start making it my own.

Fitted new rear upper suspension arms, did one last Friday and one today. Not as difficult as expected, all bolts undid ok, did not move subframe or exhaust. Bolt inside the sub needs a short (75mm) extension bar, not any longer or shorter. Very limited movement possible with ratchet but it can be done. Cleaned and painted lower arms, drop links etc. Very pleased with myself and how it went! The old arms (20years old)were still just about usable but not for much longer.

New MOT, no advisories

The old MOT had many months to go, the problem was it was in early February. It's not good to MOT prep the car when days are short and the weather is bad, especially if you find something major needs doing. I've been meaning to move it to the summer for about 4 years, but COVID and stuff got in the way. Done now.

Decided today was the day to start my list of front end jobs on the tourer ( N/S/F broken spring, both front brake hoses and their respective metal brake pipes.) Living with Long Covid and it's associated fatigue and other symptoms just means doing a bit at a time however the car has just stood mostly as it is too easy just to jump in the Connie and put things off.

The strut came off fighting me all the way as everything was corroded with standing through the winter . Nuts and bolts corroded down to the next socket size , lots of plus gas and it was out . Using a borrowed heavy duty spring compressor , I was then faced with a top mount that was seized on. More plus gas in the right places and I eventually drifted it off damaging the top mount but I had a good spare on the shelf in my garage so I eventually got it back together. I was thinking of bolting it back in the wheel arch just hanging on the three nuts but then noticed the steering rack gaiter has a split !

By then my energy was spent so I've just put everything back inside the car and locked up and ordered some new gaiters from DMGRS and a replacement lower pinch bolt and nut along with two new bleed nipples from Robber Bros. and it can all wait until another day.
