Haven't done it yet mate. Going to give it a go on the bottom of the fuel tank tomorrow.

 

[Jim881]

Bottom of fuel tank keyed and 3m'd

Fitted the brakes lines and heat shield. Also sprayed 3M the wheel arches. Not planning on doing the whole underneath. Fingers crossed fuel tank and fuel filler pipe tomorrow.

 

[Jim881]

Productive day. Fuel tank reassembled, fuel filler pipe fitted. Subframe and heatshield fitted.

 

[Jim881]

Valance was all scuffed up so decided to sand and paint it. Needed filler really but the whole bumper will have a respray when the cars back on the road.

Rear suspension and coilovers fitted. Need to drop the car to torque everything up.

Busy day today. Fitted the rear calipers, stripped the front. Cleaned and new calipers on. Deep cleaned wheels and found out my car won't start. Hopefully it's the spark plug i found duff.

 

[Jim881]

Nearly back on the road. Brakes are really soft so need to try bleed them again.
Also my Power steering metal pipe burst. Luckily I was only going around the block. Bypassed for the time being until the next pipe arrives.
MOT on Monday. Wish me luck.
