I then began de-rusting the top mounts, the hub and the caliper carrier. I used a long flat head screw driver to pry the old bearings out (I'm getting tired of saying bearing).

Well I've got both springs assembled and one is on the car. 2 spring compressors simply arent enough for this so just an important note. I dont have any pictures of the one on the car yet. I was working in the rain which is oh so fun. Whats worse is i snapped the abs sensor bolt. I'll get a pic of that tomorrow. Wounded.

All on and mobile again. Definite ride height difference as you can tell. Definitely a smoother ride and absorbs pot holes, bumps much more effectively. I tightened the suspension top mount bolts up after a short drive. There is a slight knocking which i have to investigate but its coming from low down i believe.

Oh and I've let the kids sticker bomb a wing. I'll have to clear coat it to lock it in

The answer to the age old question.. Can you fit an enitre Xtype interior into your berlingo.. the answer is yes you can!

There is a Berlingo on this picture somewhere, this was on a run out around Harrock Hill Windmill. A fire destroyed it in 1880 and it was left derelict ever since. A decent walk.

And tuther night i went on a 10k run at ainsdale beach. There is a nasty clonk whenever I come off a speed bump to quick. I'm going to check my hub pinch bolts and see if they are tightened up ok. I've also noticed a rattle from my D/S track rod end so that needs to be investigated before i get the tracking done.

But while parts were on the way and I thought I'd drive to the peak district at 3:30 to see the sunrise from the top of Kinder Scout (as you do). Well I didnt make the sunrise (missed it by around half an hour. Did get some good snaps though. My instagram is @philmk2 if anyone wants to see my berlingo (mis)adventures.

Back to some actual work then. I was sick of looking at the rottern steelies. But I do want to keep them so a home brew refurb is on the cards, theres a few good vids on t'internet but chrisfix is one of the best so I followed his method and it worked a treat.

Sanded back using a wire wheel attatchment on the angle grinder, wiped down using meths, high build primer and gloss black. Sorted

Just need to do the other 3 corners now. Eeesh

This will no doubt divide opinion but I finished off the sticker bombed wing. Locked in with a UV resistant clearcoat. Spot the mk2 golf.

Don't forget the spare If you get a puncture it will let the side down
