Maybe better are bolts that are properly galvanized.

Well, I think it will have to be an addition for the toolbox as I can always pop over to my mates who has the gas axe if I get stuck.RainerK wrote: The (in my opinion only) advantage of a gas burner is that it can also heat up the outside and sometimes this is much better than heating from the inside.

- confirmed my AC gauge set was not leaking and identified a small leak on the AC system. However, could be due to the system not being used for so long, it's not sealing correctly. So I'll have to half charge it with dye and identify it.
- Drilled out ABS sensor bolts on front hubs and reclaimed the holes to be used again.
- Drilled out and retapped 2 bolts on the AC condenser mounting bracket
- kingpin bearings plus shaft seals renewed and hubs refitted to front axle
- wiped down plastics inside car as they were very dusty
- shampooed head liner inside car to remove unwanted 'welding scent'
- fabricated two more brackets for the ABS cable on the rear trailing arms
- fitted ABS sensor cable to front axle with p-clips
- partially fitted hub vacuum hose as I ran out of clips

It's just taking forever to do the last jobs. Still waiting for the new arches, so can't do anyhting until I can see how the bumpers line up. In case I need to redrill them. This bout of snow the past few days has put a stop to work tho.

It's never going to be perfect, but it's nice to save a small fortune by applying some knowledge and getting a similar result to what I want. I've also enjoyed learning some new skills and techniques along the way. However, there's still a long ways to go yet as I've got to modify the front and rear bumpers to match the new arches, a lot of faffing around with filler paste and sandpaper unfortunately.
