      thought i recognised the bits in this pic, last seen in the back of a battered old pug, those refurb bits and bobs are looking real good, now for the best bit, fitting them all onto that shiny new shell, nice one Lewis

        Well done for saving this little car and it looks like it's going to be a very lucky car too! Some nice work being done here.

          Lube the pin

          Put axle stand under the rear near the shock

          Put an open ended spanner between the car body and the rubber mounting arm

          Lower car weight down onto axle stand

          Car body "pops" the rubber over the pin

            cheers dave...should have called you, quite a easy looking task, but there was alot of powdercoat on the pin which had to be ground off, quite a lot of effort to slide that bush on, they are set at an angle as well
