What have you done to your vehicle today?

On my previous Challenger I loved the big retro chrome gas cap, but I have always felt it didn’t suit the yellow.
So I changed it.

After installing the front suspention parts I've noticed the top of the wheel sat further in than before,. This is adjustable, the top a-arm needs to extend out a bit. To to this, it has to be removed. As all buts are new it's only like 20mins. Measured, this should be good now, popping back together and put weight back on it and take another look. It's all good fun, I like being able to do all this myself.

You should have measured the stock uppers like your last picture to start with. Start from a known starting point...!
I did, and got it close or so I thought. The bends are different between the two. So this time concentrated on the measurement between ball joint and the pivot points as that's what really matters.
Unmodified side

Walked underneath it.
Was doing some work in the garage, windows ledge and inside doorstep.
 
Just put the 'Legal' Reg plates on the 69 ready for the MOT test tomorrow.
 
Altered the top a-arms, soon will be adjusting the lower.

I'm in no rush, as been doing other bits in the garage. Air con coming tomorrow, it does get a tad warm in the garage.

walked past it in the garage a few times lol,,,
 
Popped the T/A on charge, altered some suspention settings.
 
While the wheels are off thought I'd paint the calipers Sponge bob yellow.
