Brighter LED fog lamp bulb and refurbished headlamps fitted and my 1st no advisory MOT, for years, passed :rock:

Took my inspiration for the lights from other lads on the forum. It definitely helps to de-Transit Van the 5th gen :lol:

This has been the main work of the last month. My old work mate's Supra. We're thinking rhe bottom end's gone so he's sending the engine away for restoration. He wants more power out of it.. it's already bloody fast :shock: :lol:

Well I've resolved my SRS issue, at the cost of my airbags :facepalm: :shock:

but massive note to self, look up steering wheel bolt torque specs before guessing! :tosser: :oops:

Another 90 quid later...

Can't believe how much quicker the steering reaction is with a smaller steering wheel :shock: :lol:
