Default The Blue Whale is...

now off the road.

Due to the massive insurance hike and the work that needs to be completed I've decided to take her off the road.

It will give me a chance to:

remove and refurbish the steering rack
replace and rebush the front and rear suspension
Replace the front wheel bearings
finish the RS6 brake upgrade.
get rid of the rear aerial.

That's the start.

I also have some other internal/external mods (RS6 engine upgrade?) possibly planned, so the Whale has now officially become a project car.

There are a few minor issues to overcome

1) I've never taken on a project this big
2) I've no idea what I'm doing
3) I'm skint

but I'm sure I'll get round them.

She'll be going to her new home in a few days and the project will start.

Wish me luck and I'll be around looking for advice and keeping you updated. Don't expect this to be a quick turnaround by the way.
If the rear brake upgrade is anything to go by don't hold your breath but I get there in the end.

Steve
