Great job and a tough job Rich, well done for persevering even with dodgy knee and arm.

The last bits turned up this week so fitted the correct clips for the undertray, the outside driveshaft nuts, put the wheels on, dropped it all on the ground and tightened the driveshaft nuts with the big bad ratchet. All seems OK so I checked the rear pads as I had planned and wire brushed the sills followed by underseal so job done for now.

Well a few miles under it belt and all is well so far.
With the couple of weeks left on the Nissan Insurance I needed to get the rear shocks changed after an observation on the mot, being that they have been in the boot for a few months.
Read the Haynes manual first as usual and jumped straight in and ripped out the drivers side rear interior and strut brase to get to the mounting nuts shown in the manual including shearing a few bolts only to realise my car seems to have a revised method where no interior access is required, dam and blast.
Used the pneumatic torque gun to get the really tight shock fixings out that would have stretched me.
Broke out the spring compressors and swapped over the damper and refitted and then drilled out the sheared bolts. Pass side took half as long, swapped cars around and removed the Honda drivers side wing having got hold of the right colour 2nd hand one, ready to refit tomorrow.
Not a bad few hrs work
