    oi!!! I even ad a bit of a sweep up this morning before i started!!
    mostly done with the angle grinder yeah.. hard to reach places have been back to the drill and wire wheel on that.
    I've probably spent about 16 hours on the underneath so far.. i keep wearing out the wire cup thingies so they fire bits of wire at me all the time.. the other half had to remove one from my back today that was a fair way into the flesh!! :clint
    the very same happened to me finished in the garage went in the house noticed a small bit of metal sticking out my back got the other half to try and grab it so she got it and about a inch of metal came out lol proper bedded in

    Forgive me being a dope, again, is that how much has to be taken out for a Zetec to fit or is something bigger going in?
