All my new bolts for the underside of ther car have arrived too, so the plan is that I am going to take over all my powder coated parts and mount the beams and get it rolling and we will bring the car home.

Tomorrow going to get all my driveshafts ready, got a couple of questions, do i need the long spacers that go in between the 8mm bolts on the driveshafts? mine are pretty screwed. also the cone shaped bush that goes on each side of the beam, which way up, cone pointing up or down?
