Finally fitted the boot and re installed driveshaft.
day was almost a complete flop when the lower ball joint wouldn't separate from the LCA. But there are ways around this I found.

After many difficult hours of struggling with my gearbox and clutch, around about 12 hours! battered and bruised I found out the clutch I was sold (apparently correct for my year and model) didn't fit.

Turned out I was trying to force the gearbox (fucker heavy) on with a 21 spline clutch with a 20 spline box... :( furious.

Absolute minefield. Had no car for 4 days!

anyway, old clutch put back in. took me and a mate an hour! typical when it fits right. :roll:

New clutch will have to wait till after JAE :top:

ooh got some new bulbs. OSRAM night breakers. meant to be good.

Some pictures to illustrate.

work into the night again!

New thrust bearing fitted perfect. shame about the clutch disk!!!!

Some fresh bulbs

Just a mess about today.
Repainted front bumper in Matte Black. On a side note, cars look so much better without a licence plate :top:
