1. fit all new control arms etc and full bush kit to front (its wandering around a bit!)

2. have 2 scuffs repainted (car park tossers :(!) and rear roof spoiler at same time.

3. remove stereo and check connections out as the rear left speaker only works when it feels like it....maybe an amp problem?
