Well i've been doing mine since sunday with help!! It wouldn't be so bad if it could be guaranteed no nuts / bolts will get rounded / cross threaded. Had to re-tap a sub-frame bolt into the main body of the car today. Had no car to get down to our engineering shops near us so had to take my dads and sisters bikes! Coppard plant hire sorted us out in the end with a tap to fit.

Got everything back together apart from a few wishbone nuts + bolts which i'll buy tomorrow. Car running again though.

Got some photo's of me and phil having great fun with sub-frames! I'll post when I get the lead for my camera.
