So today I went to grans and made a start. Found all the seatbelts and bolts etc which had previous been stripped when the buckets were fitted. I fitted the EGR blank and put the elbow back together. Bit of a blow there but Ill treat it to a new gasket when it passes the MOT. Drove the car out onto the drive so we could start work on it.
Tom arrived. We disconnected everything from the subframe and dropped the subframe out. We then removed the ARB and clutch cable mount and fitted it to the new seam welded subframe. Reason to swap subframes was that I had this one spare and one of the self retaining nuts of the old one had come lose and couldn't be undone or done up! Not many photos but we ended the day with the seam welded subframe back on the car with the two bolts.
Hopefully during the week Tom will be able to pop down and remount the steering rack and bolt the rest of the subframe on along with the new wishbones.
