| So as its already had 1 pan fitted and the channel that side too I thought it was time to seperate the body again and prep for other pan To my surprise I undone new bolts on new" side and pan dropped down :/ proceed to other side and it's still got old rusty bolts in :/ the previous owner fitted them without even splitting body from pan [-x don't u just love bodges :/ |
