Have you been reading my post history! ;)

My bolts and spire clips arrived today, and window seals yesterday, hope they are the right size ;)

Well, been a bit busy over the weekend. but have been held up waiting on piston rings, as I was sent the wrong ones, so have the engine as far as I can before the pistons go in.
Started loosly bolting the suspension back together again

front end, still waiting on bottom wishbones.

Are you fitting new wheel bearings and hub flanges?

Hi Neil

New bearings fitted in the rear, both the fronts were done less that 1000 miles ago. Same flanges, they are still OK.
Infact, the front brearings will be about the only things that are not being replaced :lol:
