hey guys do any body know how to sole a dropped door and any ideas how my wiper blade on inter-mite stops at the top of window but constant and fast work fine and also how do you balance brakes and a spongy brake peddle i will be getting new disks and pads will this sort out my problem thanks all
 
Ha ha my grammar Nazi style worked on someone then.
Dropped door, only thing too really door is force the hinges / door up to get them too line up again. Piece of wood under the door and lift.
Wipers, sounds like a faulty stalk/ motor/ relay...
Brake balance can't really be adjusted, these actually have a load compensator but that shouldn't be doing alot unless you are carrying a lot of weight.
All i will suggest is, rear drums off, clean the drums themselves, de-glaze or replace the shoes depending on condition. Check the wheel cylinders, if they are weeping or seized replace them. Wind of the handbrake cable at the lever, adjust the brake shoes up at the drum then adjust the handbrake cable, that should sort any imbalance at the rear.
For the fronts, remove the disks and pads. Carefully!!!!! pump out the pistons too make sure they are not seized, if one is a little slow pump it out a little further, pull back the dust cover on the piston and gently sand of any surface rust with some fine wet and dry (I'd say no rougher than 800 grit.) Liberally apply a light oil too the piston and work it in and out a few times.
Next step for the front brakes is too remove the sliders and clean them, grease them but not with copper grease. So many times i have had too sort sticky sliders that a home mechanic has copper greased.
Then finally new pads and disks. Making sure you take the paint of the 2 ends of the pad backing for a snug but not un movable fit into the pad carrier.

That took forever...
Any questions just ask!
 
Forgot the spongy brake pedal. Get the brakes bled, this may also point to a split or pin holed brake line/ damaged caliper or wheel cylinder!
 
That was bloody hard to read..
If you happened to be a local i would happily have a look but i doubt you are.
Parts are so cheap for these as i'm sure you are aware.
 
Now apart from faults changed spark plugs fule filter replaced air box with tempory k&n filter and crank case brether cleaning engin bay wil have more pics

The grinder met the springs last night. Match made in heaven.
 
looks to me like its been in a side on accident, the sill is the same colour for the length of the door, so maybe someone scraped a wall or maybe something more. I always look at cars in daylight and street light, its amazing what street lights show up
