I'm told these are as near to an original as you can get

Raised the car and and placed on axel stands this afternoon.

I wanted to get ahead and free up any potential seized bolts. As it happens after a wire brush, everything freed up nicely.

No cutting required!

Looks like everything bush wise is original, all rubber on each bush have split. Inner rack boots cracked and split also. Good job it’s all being replaced.

Both arch liners on near side and off side are undamaged which is a relief.

Removed to see if there are any issues lurking. Pleased to report all is good. Lots of s**t bottom of wing to sill which has now been removed. Will clean whole area once shocks have been removed.

Looks like I have a leak around the gearbox where the driveshaft slots into box. Any ideas what I need to replace? I was expecting the selector seal to be shagged, only a small amount of residue around the selector so dodged a bullet with that one. It doesn't stink like gearbox oil so it might be a engine leak from above.

Anyone know which arch liner screws I can use to replace current old screws? Same goes for the splitter?

I remember holding my 83yr old grans hand after she had died. She had died 3hrs earlier.

Her hand still looked younger than that.

Removed shocks and gave the arches/gearbox a good clean. Same goes for arch liners and engine tray.

Looks like the oil on gearbox has come out through the breather pipe. I suspect at some point it was over filled.

Springs arrive tomorrow so hoping to have a few hrs spare so I can build them up and fit.

Splitter and the interior pieces arrived today. Looking forward to unboxing the splitter!

Konis and eibach springs fitted today. Rears were fiddly however bolted on simply enough. Rears are supplied with their own top mounts, reused existing PMS solid mounts on the fronts.

Waiting for camber bolts to arrive but they are on so i can now remove wishbones.
