So, I think over the past few days I have filled more around the boot and roof, fine filling all around the car (but not sanded that) and I did paint under the boot.
Incase it wasn't obvious, the recent push was due, but more was intended to be on a more gentle approach. The neighbours asking for their garage back kicked in finding extra hours that would not have normally been used for car time. Then proper late nights started when the moving out date was a bit earlier than I thought. Woops.
It has to be said, a quick spray round the window frames and passenger door/window openings has (last job of the day, 11.30, so it drys whilst I sleep) really brought it together. This has been done to try and keep any bare metal in a none rust state as it looks like its going on the drive ready or not. A shame as it could have been just another 2 weeks and the doors and bonnet would be ready which would have ended up being a free weekend so would have gone straight to my friends unit ready to spray. Still hoping it can happen that weekend but may end up pushed back due to finishing on the drive with not much light is probably going to be much slower.
So today my rear subframe is back home and all nice and strong again (big thanks to Malcolm) and even managed to get him to dig out a tap to run through the captive nuts, which I brought home and did the same on the car. Yep the mounting kit is out and ready to go down to the garage tomorrow, the radius arms are slowly going back together and the hubs have longer studs in now and will just have to do the bearings later due to needing wheels on it so it can move.
Tomorrow is going to be a long day with still a few bits to buy to pull this one off, so at best it will be a update like this in the early hours of the morning or it will be saturday when it has moved.
So I leave you with a slightly poor picture of the radius arms.
