MOT and service parts £100
2 new rear calipers oem pads and brake fluid £300
HEL lines £120 (optional I realise but made sense to do along with the above)
Labour for the above £50 mates rates
TGM bill today came to £1830 for new clutch, flywheel, LSD, slave cylinder, front shocks, eibach camber bolts - (I had these but someone had snapped the tabs on both!) fluids and labour obviously too.
Also need to get front wheel alignment done to dial in the camber. No idea on cost but TGM’s machine was out of action.
Of that bill only the LSD was optional but again, just picking the common sense opportunity to do it.
Coming up I have the rear beam bushes to fit. The beam is quite corroded so i’ll probably pay more to source one from a breakers, shot blast, paint and then straight swap.
I also bought the car with a cpl header so if I want to keep it I need a custom b-pipe with sports cat by the time next MOT comes around. Preferably before though.
Tyres all have stacks of tread but are beginning to crack so possibly need 4 new tyres before winter too
So an expensive 1st year!
