so another big catch up for the thread!
Started by finished off the CV joints, got the grease in them and got them sealed up! Gonna have to get new bands for them but I should be able to fit those in situ!
So here's the hubs and struts all built up with shiny new cv joints!
New bottom arms fitted! Drivers side has been put into the hub but after the issue I had getting the old arm out the passenger side I seem to have misplaced the little bit that came out of the hub! I'll need to have a good look for that tomorrow!
And lastly the whole hub assembly in place! Passenger side has driveshaft bolted in, but no bottom arm bolted in, drivers side has bottom ark bolted in but no driveshaft bolted in! Had to leave to pick up the dog before I could finish the whole thing! I can see the handbrake cables being a right pain! After the picture was taken I got it bolted up a bit more!

i got a good few hours at it during the next week/weekend (first free nights and weekend in almost 2 months) so with sun in the sky and fixing head firmly screwed on i set about it!
last time i had the rear arms on so first thing was to get the handbrake and shoes all installed which went relatively easy, and then it was time for new rear discs and pads installed along with the newly painted splash guards!
and the whole lot in the shiny arches!
then there was the underbracing to go on! the large silver piece was the bit i gave a right good cleaning weeks (maybe even months) ago and the 2 diagonal braces that keep most of the rear end tied together!
dog was more interested in enjoying being outside but in the shade whilst i done bumper installing! this included refitting the spoiler, slash guards inside the rear arches, heat shielding etc etc
