    Dropped off the mounts etc this morning. Pallet of bits for powder coating... Sounds like they enjoyed taking the bushes out... Not. Underseal is the next job. All cleaned up, and seam sealed. New plate welded in where some rust was starting. The red tinge to some of the pics is because there was a red golf parked underneath This is the GMC van I mentioned.

    Some new engine / gearbox mounts as mine were guffed. Apparently 25% stiffer than OEM, but not harsh.

    It sure is Tubs version 1.1

    As for the Rimmerbros parts at different prices, I've noticed before that they list genuine rover parts, and pattern parts - could be the reason for the difference in price? As Jake says, the electrical connector will probably be different. I had to swap the connector when I use a rover windscreen wiper motor. Some tasty numbers in the background of that pic but the way

    Need to get some velcro pants! Just make sure you don't wear them inside out. Can't imagine that bud To be honest though, you have built a weapon - might as well have some fun with it where it's safe(er) to. Need to find some of those rubber door panels that the Renault cactus has.

    Looks like that was great fun Bet you were relieved that the bail didn't do any harm! Looks like there was some good three wheel action in that corner before the straight.

    So looking to replace the drop links for the MGZS ARB on the Deck, and went to Rimmerbros as you do. They're out of stock, but using the part number on ebay brings up drop links that are also compatible with EGs. Are they the same? I always remember folk saying that the MG ones had a better design than the honda ones. MG Honda EBay

    That's cool bud. Never seen that before

    Some pics from today's visit. All cleaned up and primed. A few spots of welding to do, but nothing serious. Going to go for a more original style underseal, instead of the raptor seal as that seems to be quite a rough bumpy finish. Been sorting out which bits need powder coating, and what needs swapping off the old shell. Also took some tegiwa rigid subframe collars down, and found out that I need Couple of engine mounts as the ones on tubs were shot.

    Load of bits ready to go to the garage

    Underside stripped and ready for steam cleaning, any wire wheeling and rust inhibiting to be done.

    This one just popped up in my saved civic jumble sale search search https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224107526840

    It's this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264764651385

    Just checked the trusty Haynes manual, and the buzzer and the circuit is part of the 'integrated control unit' that also deals with wash / wipe, and low /high beam functions. From the diagram it looks like the input comes from the driver door interior light switch. If the interior light comes on when you open the driver door, then it's either a problem with the wiring or the control unit.

    Well done @kalopooo

    Cheers man. No, not for getting it finished. Think it'll be a bit of a slow burner, but they're going to get cracking this week at the first stage of getting the underside all sorted. I've got skunk lcas, an h brace, beaks bar, and adjustable camber arms for the rear that I never got around to getting on tubs as well, so I'm hoping that the handling is going to be sweet. Thinking about getting the koni shocks refurbed while they're off as well. Had new eibach springs for the mot that never was a few months ago.

    It noticeably lowered the front, and made the front end feel much sharper. Felt less able to point it into a corner when they came off.
