Time to roll the old tart back on her side and look at the rear spring hanger mounts.

I’m getting good at this….

Bugger!

Just had a strop come off and I’ve dropped the old girl on her side.

Looks like I’ve managed to give a hinge a hammering, total a trafficator and worst of all bend the bloody B pillar.***********! (All while stone cold frig'in sober!).

No use crying over spilt milk, at least the roof hasn't distorted - I’ll fix it in the future.

Hey guys, at the risk of sounding like I’ve recently swallowed a copy of Roget's Thesaurus……..

A quick reminder that un-solicited advice, sarcasm, witticisms, innuendo, vituperation and general all round abuse is not only welcome  but encouraged in Rigamortice’s   discussion thread.

Slightly out of sequence, (story of my life!) but while finishing the firewall mods I Bolted the front suspension in place, hopefully for the last time. What can I say…..it still fits like a glove.

Dropped the dummy block and gearbox into the hole to check the fit.

Started trimming the firewall, floor and trans (or should I have said “non binary gender fluid”) tunnel for clearance.

It was obvious the standard gearbox cover would not fit

Time for some surgery….
