Default Ready for testing

At last the car is now ready to road test, the clutch hopefully being sorted as well as, rear springs, upper arms, D rubber and drop links.
Various bits shot blasted and painted for protection and one snapped stud replaced.

Currently, a faulty master cylinder is the likely cause for the failure

Fitting the exhaust was a piece of cake, 3 trolley jacks and my wife the mechanic pumping away

One scary moment a few days ago, wife was to lower the jack supporting the trailing arm and rear suspension while I was under the car but she....... shock the jack My goodness that was scary even though on axle stands and blocks of wood also under the body just in case axle stands fail.

As I sorned the car for this month I'll wait until November. I'm working tomorrow in any case
