I didn't do anything to it. But I will. Just recieved this beautifully handcrafted custom piece from ebay seller cfautomotor. I am blown away how nice this wheel is. A few other members have bought from them too. Can't wait to install it. 🥰

$399 U.S. plus $20 for shipping. You can see all the details here: cfautomotor
You buy one of thier wheels and they will ask how you want it customized.
I haven't done the install yet, but youtube videos make it look very easy.

I bought the Quickjack 5000TL from Costco on offer and as a bundle.

The jack came with pinch weld rubber blocks and flat rubber blocks. I found the Steeda rails were not long enough to have the blocks positioned on the Quickjack. I also wouldn’t feel safe under the car without some sort of U shape on the rails.

This was my first lift up, so will take a closer look this week to see what I can fabricate or buy to make a better job of it.

These would probably work, but I’ll make my own rather than paying out even more money. I’ll also look at designing something which may fit the rails.
PM me and I’ll let you know which direction in go in the end.
Full length Steeda jacking rails work ok with my 7000TL lift. I have to position both blocks as inward as possible though. If you still want to use pinch welds, you could use hockey pucks, but I don't think there would be enough ground clearance to fit them on top of the QJ blocks.

I’ve got a few days off work so after a walk to the local coffee shop (4 miles) with the misses and then a trip to the vets to get my pussy inspected, I got a few odds and sods done on the car :sunglasses:

It finally came out of winter hibernation :

I got the door shuts washed.

The tailpipes polished (internally).

I had already stripped off, cleaned up and repainted the only rusty clip from under the hood (the one from the sound tube - that Ford U.K. only sell as part of the full sound tube assembly) :

1679953914622.jpeg


1679953948809.jpeg


And I used iron remover to clean up the pipe before refitting it :

1679953995525.jpeg


1679954018802.jpeg


I finally got my dead pedal assembly (hard to find for RHD) clipped back in place and vacuumed it for the photo :

1679954111659.jpeg


And managed to get to the front diff bolts to clean off the rust, apply waxoyl and then cover them :

1679954205603.jpeg


Not the easiest of things to get to lay on your back on the pavement lol. Whilst I was under there, I clocked the outer toe link bushes which really surprised me :shock:

Using the arch to the line in the tyre moulding, I dropped 5mm from the right side :

And 6mm from the left :

Believe me, I tried …

Every soo often, they come as a charity thing on the top of innocent smoothies :

Having two girls in the house means pink is a pretty good second choice :like:

I have more of those little hats, but my search continues …

Haha. Trying not to be sexist in this woke world but you could ask nicely one of your daughters to knit one in lime green.

Did you replace the tow links previously? Is that why you needed to clock them and ended up that much lower?

The toe links were disconnected by Ford during its surgery and I suspected it sat a little high when it came back.

I jacked it up the other week and had a look, the double witness marks on the inside faces from the bush serrations proved it :

Clocking them is dead easy, even without a ramp.

I suspect the camber arms and vertical links are the same and that they are still holding it up a bit, but I have new vertical links to fit after my birthday and the camber arms will get sorted with the alignment :like:
