Hi Ged, yes I can't wait to get it back and start putting it back together, it will be ready next week but I can't pick it up till the 26th so i will just have to wait, still lots of little jobs to do beforehand .

Hi Ged do you know if there are thrust washers in between the shock absorbers? I had to cut all my old shocks off so I cannot remember if there were any, it looks like they should have.

Not on mine, but it may depend on which dampers you have

Hi Ged mine are bilstein, they look like they should have washers, I'll give Richard Thorpe a ring and see what he says, your chassis looks good.

I nearly forgot thrust washers are not needed on the shocks.

Did you put the fuel pump on before the NSR lower wishbone?

If you didn't it's not a show stopper, it's just much easier if you did.

Top tip for you, before you put the body on, fit the pump input hose and the brass pipe that goes over the lower wishbone. Fit the fuel tank output hose (the really short hose that connects the tank to the brass pipe) to the tank before fitting that.
