JiP Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) I say your ride will look sick once you've completed what you are plainning to do. Go for it. My car was a peice of shit at first. My brother tried giving it away to the wreckers and no one wanted it. And now, one year on, he is surprised at how well it runs and looks. Plus shes so hot, that there are people that wanna steal her. :y: Edited August 15, 2006 by JiP_01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoPsi Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Steering fix can be done by adjusting the nut on the steering box. If you look down on the box you will see a nut with a screw going through it. Loosen off the outside nut. Then get a screwdriver and tighten the screw/bolt whatever it is 1/4 turn. Get someone to hop inside and wiggle the steering wheel and see if there is play. Keep tightening until there is no play. BE WARNED!!! DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. If you do your steering will not centre again and may cause you to run off the road. Just tighten it in small amounts checking each time to see if there is play. Should e all good after that.
