Small snagging

Not much to show, but today I did manage to torque the rear hubs. That was another job that ended up rushed when it had to get out of the neighbors garage, they where very close to correct torque but worth checking and really worth putting the split pins through the castle nuts :)
Finally managed to get the hand brake cable fully installed, as I now have the fork and pin to attach it to the handbrake lever.
Collard and good work neighbor to help me bolt up the seat mounts as my arms are just not long enough to hold the allen key inside the car whilst tightening the nut under the car.
Just before I left for the day I did start doing the front sub frame rear mounts.
Secretly can't wait for marmite to come home. As nice as it is to work on the ramps, I'll just say the work shop is layed out/tidy in the way I'd like it. Beggars can't be choosers and even though I struggle to find a tool quickly, loose parts briefly as I can't lay my shite out willy nilly, have to out back all tools every time I finish, so despite those little quirks work has been so much easier. The chance to go through the garage has been great as well, tidier, refreshed as to what parts I do have and cleaning some of them up whilst there was no car, was a god send.
Almost finished painting the other side of the engine block (needs to be done before the car comes back) just about all the jobs to do with a bit of space in the garage has been done.
Last big push to get the subfame brackets on and I can ring the tow truck :)
The next phase / ling term to do list has been written, lets see how much spare time I end with to do anything on it
