Now the mistake he made there was that if he was trying to stiffen the suspension he needed to use a good hardwood like Oak or Mahogany, not some cheap Pine.I wasn't expecting to see the Micra again so soon..
It's almost like I'm a psychic, but that Micra bean can is living it's best life screwed to the inner wheel arch of a Ford Ranger.
Don't ask, because I've no idea..
Just, just don't ask
What was left of the coil spring after the customer took an angle grinder to it and adorned the suspension leg with what looks like some of his decking..
It wasn't in for MOT, but it was driven to us like that with the space saver spare wheel fitted.
The spring had snapped, dropped down the leg and impaled itself through the sidewall of the tyre.
It's no wonder I drink too much.
FWIW, it was a Jaaag.
I mean oak was good enough for structural parts in high end cars in the past.
