Re: Marts lude - Part Spoonage
So 1st sunny day this year I think. So gave the lude a good clean.
Before

3.5hrs Later

Then I decided to fit my Spoon Sports Braces after I realised that the rear is compatible with 4WS
Rear fitted

Then I went to swap my front Tanabe Sustec Brace for my Spoon Sports one.
But on the left strut the aircon pipe was fouling and wasn't moving

So Next job on the list: Remove Aircon

It was only a last minute thing when I spotted the braces in the garage
Aircon doesn't work anyway. I want to get one of those Innovitive Alternator relocation brackets anyway
