well, looks like me happy pills are reacting with the antibiotics i'm taking, not been to work since last thursday,

saturday we removed rear axle, got new one lined up under the springs, pat then got everything set in position only to tell me sunday that the car now sits level!!! with sills sitting 16" from the floor!!!, so he then removed it and mounted on top of springs. looks like i'll have to make some more extended shackles as the ones of the back are now on front!!!

sorted the rad out(new larger one) along with a leccy fan.

5 speed manual looks like its going back in.

no pics, but hopefully will saturday.
