little update, nothing much just rear wheel bearings and hubs fitted, and to show how i did them without a press lol
the new bearings
hubs with old bearing in
old bearings removed
new shim ready to fit into place
using old shim on top to tap down until new shim goes in evenly
can see the gap, this is where a press machine comes in handy
so , i had a spare front diff flange and the old shim fits prefectly over it
everything in vice
and new shim is pressed in
wheel bearing in, but packed with grease to get it round all roller bearings first then slotted in
dust seal
tapped in using old shim again
drive flange all cleaned up after getting the baked on grease off from being heated up from powdercoaters and fitted
repeat for other hub and loosely fitted to arms as im waiting on shims

Car is coming on great man, I'm sooo tempted to go the same route as you have with my new one, powdercoating all the bits etc....
PM me what you want the title changing to aswell mate and I'll do it

rite
little update, ive been waiting a while for my diff mount to turn up and when it did it didnt lol
postman had signed it and it never got delivered
this was a epcial delivery item, this is whats been holding me up as it had my shims aswell lol
but it finally turned up saturday with a sticker on it saying delivered in error to somewhere else so all is good
so alls ive done is got my diff mount on with the new plate monster made for me as you will see in the pics how close the roll bar is and fitted the hubs and some new clips
diff mount all fitted
how close things are
rear shims
few bolts for shit guards for the front, abs sensor clips, hub nuts and abss sensors bolts
abs sensor clips fitted, so much better than the old ones which are always loose lol
shims fitted and hubs on
and abs bolts fitted in place, just need sensors
so to finish the back end i need sensors, discs and calipers and a handbrake cable now
but again things have come to a stop as im moving in the next couple of weeks so getting the new place sorted first
though i may get some things ordered aswell will have to wait and see
