Poly bushes tracked down with lots of help from M3GTR,I think that Powerflex must have a Chinese despacher, read the 9 in my address for a 6,the pensioner at 6 did not reconise my name and returned the bushes to the PO!! When I collected the card left for the second set so that I could collect from the sorting office,I still had to convince the staff that the parcel was mine :mad: winkeye Still alls well that ends well,I have had time to rebuild the 2.7 in my car(I will post a thread when its running...)and I now plan on fitting the bushes to the other one next week;just about in time for its MoT.

I bought my E30 a couple of months ago not really knowing what to do with it other than strip it, cage it and use it to play around in.
On my last trip to the ring I was wandering round the car park with a friend picking up ideas on what to do with the car when my friend who owns a garage and is a mechanical genius said ''Bring the car to me and I will build it for you, i'm sure you would do an ok job of it but I will build you a PROPER tool for the job'' How could I refuse that offer :D I supply the bits, unless he aquires them for me and he supplies the labour.....Job done 8O

edited to say I did the bushes on my 205 track car and that was a pig of a job as was the ARB :x

Can't believe it took so long to sort out to be honest but we got there eventually! Thanks for being so patient!

Only fitted front ones,the rear will probably involve lots of swearing...
