Of course, you'd definately need me there too to hold stuff in place and to assist with the beers.
you'd never get it done without me there too...

Yes please Mr Bad
In all seriousness I really want a long drive in Europe next year. And I have no problems with helping you fit your diff on the way. Your kind of a forum bestie and you made my logo avatar so I owe you anyways

Ah its sweet Bad
Ok not a lot to report lots of little steps. But they will all add up to my car being on the road again some time!
I managed to get the old RTAB bush out. My tool didn't work that well at getting it out! And i really didn't want to burn them out. So i used a hole saw to remove the center rubber part. I then cut through the bush metal outer with a hack saw. I was then able to use a punch and a harmer to collapse the outer part and knock it out. The tool i made helped install the bush so it was not a complete waste of time. Any new bush in with the limiting washers.
Then gave everything a clean and a paint.
As i had the paint tins and brushes out I painted the rear crash bar. And also my adjustable lower arms.
Also relocated the fuel breather box thing so the quad can go in.
I will put this side back together tonight but that's all. I have a few tips to make to send out. I hope to do the other side Wednesday. And then i am off to Cornwall to see some friends for a long weekend. Hopefully get the diff back in the following week. Then a stag do the weekend after with hopefully finishing the exhaust off and have the car working again by mid July. I need it done and finished as i am doing a quad for Si as soon as its done.

Will do Jimbo
Small update I have been following Jimbos advice and sticking at it.
Had a long weekend away and i have a stag do this weekend all these fun things are getting in the way!!! But I have got the other RTAB and limiting kit done. Its all painted and ready to go back together. I had to bring the diff in to work to use a fly press to put the bearings on the LSD. I am coming to pick it all up tonight so its home and ready to install. I hope to build it all back up and fit the upper and lower control arms Friday (I will take a picture of my revised lower adjustable arms tonight) The exhaust bits are all made and just need final fetteling and fitting. The fuel breather box has been relocated and reconnected. I can see an end fingers crossed it all goes well.
