Cheers dude, re painted the side of the gear box to night, waiting on drive shaft oil seals and a bag of 3M underseal to finish the repair in the arch. Then it's back on it wheels to see what's going on...

Good to see your still at it benn. I'm sure you'll get there soon enough.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, “DAMN, what a ride!!”
Cheers Ben.
Got a bag of sealant today so cracked on with that. Coilover off, cleaned and rebuilt. Sealer mixed and painted on. (sorry the arch is filthy at the mo)
Still no drive shaft oil seals, getting pissed off now.

Small update for today.
In the week i took my gear box mount to a welder/fab guy i know for him to check up and re-weld/beef the welds up. He said my welds weren't to bad, but gave me a few tips to get it up for a better weld, which i have now.
Mount tig welded.
Cleaned the holes up. Gave it a coat of paint and left it to dry.
There i moved to the repair i had to do in the inner arch. I last left it with the 3M sealant drying on it. So masked it up, gave it a fresh coat of Etch primer..
Then moved on to a bit of colour.
Next coat.
All lacquered and drying.( you can see my expensive specialist heater in the bottom right)
The mask i use while painting. It's a cheaper version of what i used at the body shop.

There i moved on to stripping the coilover down again. Spring wasn't on as i was testing extremes, top mount off.
Top cup of the top mount needed a repaint.
New polished nyloc nut as i found this side likes to come undone..
Nylocs do make things hard..
All built back up after a good clean.
Then stood about and let the lacquer dry for a bit... Then got bored and de-masked the car, and started re fitting the shock.. With new paint in the background.
Monday i'm gonna get the circlip grove move out a little to make sure i have move than enough movement on the shaft, then i can fit that and the new gear box seal. Then i can put it back on the ground.
