Re: NSJ 831 - Nellies Front Brake and Suspension Overhaul!
Thursday was one of those days where nothing went right! So after many hours of; 1 step forward, 10 steps back, we called it a day! However tonight was much more productive! So now that's her right hand side 99% complete, we're now ready to move her over and start on the other side! Then we've just got the flexi brake hoses to sort, master cylinder and any other little bits that may need attention!
Better not forget the trackrod/steering rod!

Re: NSJ 831 - Nellies Front Brake and Suspension Overhaul!
Does combination of purple and grey have a special meaning ...
Re: NSJ 831 - Nellies Front Brake and Suspension Overhaul!
Nellie is grey, and she'll be staying that colour too! Haha!
And no specific reason for purple, I just wanted a different colour that wasn't too bright to the naked eye and didn't stand out too much, and didn't look out of the ordinary, the other option was orange! Hahaha! But I also thought purple would go well with the silver calipers and disks.

Those purple suspension parts certainly look subtle (through sun glasses or welding goggles)...MCJW wrote:And no specific reason for purple, I just wanted a different colour that wasn't too bright to the naked eye and didn't stand out too much, and didn't look out of the ordinary...
Re: NSJ 831 - Nellies Front Brake and Suspension Overhaul!
Haha! Not as much as orange would have done! She did used to have orange springs though, and no one noticed!

Nothing wrong with a splash of orange.... (Your thread might have inspired me to do something )
