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.
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.
Was looking through this the other day and came across a picture with what i think was polish or wax..
Could you tell me what stuff it is and where i could buy some?
I thought sbs stocked the seals?
Yes, but what pic/stuff? I use a few polishes ans waxes....Quote:

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.

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..

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.
