Can I make a suggestion?

Take all the interior back out including the dashboard and fit 4 plastic bucket seats and a roll cage and give your little one the coolest school run car in the catchment?

2 of 4 kingpin bearings replaced today. Don't want to curse it but very pleasantly surprised with the lack of seized nuts and bolts on this thing! (So far).

The calliper pins must be made of a different metal though as they're seized solid. Not a surprise given the state of the outer disc.

I'll come back to that after it's soaked for a few days. If the weather is ok I'll crack on with the other side tomorrow :)

What is with the Re:Re:Re:Re?
I'm 48, I don't understand. :)

Edit: Aha, seems I managed to remove them from the topic :)

Unstuck bolts could be a sign that there have been some servicing done to it..
