Re: [doc] Front coil springs



Thanks Mark

That makes the job sound alot more inviting...... I've really been putting
this one off. Thanks to Chris P for almost rushing me the springs, Since
I've had them I have tried my best to avoid the job......

Here's me the one who take the body off the car in an afternoon but can't do
a front coil!!!!!!!
