Started work at 05:30 finished at 10:00.
When I got home I started on the car.
Fuel tank strap cleaned, rust removed and sealed with under body seal.
Both sills were repaired recently, so I removed all rust and old sealer and re sealed both these.
Changed both track rod ends. The passenger side was a B***h to losen off.
Painted the front tow eye. Damaged it putting the SP grille on and it had started to rust 
Ran out of daylight and energy now so will get the alignment (4 wheel) sorted first thing in the morning.

Yea agreed! Sounds like a good idea before you start. When a nut or bolt won't shift any you throw everything at it including the heat gun!
Feels good when it's all done though

I usually just cut down the middle of the nut then it just falls off takes 2mins. But it's a pain in the a**e if you don't have an angle grinder handy.
