   Just rang my uncle and he's said he'll fit the full suspension kit and alter the torsion bar for £100, (days labour) is what he said...
   
   Sound a good price?

   Top deal, I'd probably get your uncle to do it for 100quids rather than get my own knuckles scraped

   funny u say that while servicing the car saturday got a scrape myself, long story but the bell housing for the oil filter wouldn't come away, Had to knock a tight socket over it and get it that way, as i pulled the rachet its slipped off the nut and my hand has bashed straight into the fine mesh of the radiator...
   
   Anyway got about 8 really fine cuts on the top of my left thumb... proper nasty, like bighting your fingernails and it slips down the corner... that kind of pain!!

   I managed to stab myself and draw blood in about three places on my hard removing a rear caliper yesterday. Then the brake fluid and brake clean and WD40 all went into it. I think people in Denmark may have heard my cry of "shitcunt"

   Hehe, my mate bruised and cut his hand nicely yesterday separating the ball joint between the steering arm and the strut. Bruised form the caliper and cut by the disk. He let out a pretty awesome scream lol

    Tell u mate, couldn't even put trousers on so had to go to hospital in a pair of shorts, when i got there the doctor (a bloke BTW) asked me how i'd done it, when i explained it was done in the heat of the moment he just laughed...
    
    I didn't think it was funny, at all...
    
    Put it this way the doctor said its a good job she leant on it when it was soft (sorry to be so graphic lads) cos he said otherwise she may have snapped your main blood vessel, then it would have been surgery..
    
    all forgotten now althought still get the odd ache!
