No, not the full works. I drive the car too much for that.

Plan is to remove the subframe and do the plating. They will then do a paint & protect, and I have asked this to be extended out to the wheel arches rather than limit it to the axel carrier panel. Subframe will be blasted and powdercoated then re-fitted with new subframe and diff carrier bushes. I’m also having the rubber coupling in the propshaft replaced. Anything that either falls of off, or needs cut off, will also be replaced with new OEM (thinking exhaust shields etc).

So no, not the full works. But the important stuff plus a little bit. I see this as both adding value to the car and giving me piece of mind.

Re getting together, yes we should get something sorted. Seems there are more CSL owners in ABZ than I thought. I figured it was just me an Paul. Will have to wait till spring though as mine will be going straight into hibernation once it’s back.
