Ideas to complete a rebuild.

[davemac250]

As some will know my car was rear ended last year and has been undergoing a bit of a rebuild.

In the past couple of years I've had

Complete diff rebuild
Gearbox rebuild
Top end rebuild
Silicon hose kit
Clocks refurbed


After the accident I've done the following

Complete respray with a new rear end - this is a bit marmite
Wheel refurb
Chassis tidy up - was ok but silly not to
AST cherry bomb exhaust
Complete re-trim including seats
New hood
Battery relocation to boot
Heating/fresh air system modified to actually work
Custom dash in cracked flip paint under black
New hood
Projector lights
Rear LED light set up
GPS install with cameras front and back

Waiting to go on after a MOT and insurance sign off

Big brake kit
Gaz Golds
A little FI kit

I've tried to keep a photo diary which ill endeavour to post when it's all finished off.

Question is, is there anything anyone can think of that I should consider doing before I have it all back together?

It's been a long old process and cost me a marriage amount other more important things...

I assume you replaced the diff mounting bushes when it was refurbed?

Suspension bushes
Fuel hoses
flexible brake hoses.

Fuel hoses being done with the supercharger kit.

As are engine mounts.

Diff bushes is a good shout and really accessible at the moment.

Brake lines in the kit for the big brake kit.

Started up today for the first time since 3rd May last year.

Ran very well - best get on with finishing off the long list of 'bits and bobs'
