Got that done, refitted the shafts, spanner checked everything and refitted the sumpguard
Then fitted the MSA spec mudflaps - these are insanely big - need to be no more than 8cm from the ground and stick out 4cm from the wheel as well. But rules are rules...

Also moved the passenger seat so the codrivers position is a bit better then rolled it outside on its "test" wheels which look pretty good in grey!

I also got the "wrong" sidegears machined down

and started rebuilding the TranX diff for the gravel car with it. However, it needs a new set of clutch plates fitted so have to order those.

Just a gratuitous side shot :-)

Ive got a scrutineer coming on Tuesday to (hopefully) give the car an MSA rally logbook then doing a trackday at Blyton Park next weekend (along with a bunch of other Astra mk2s and other Vauxhalls) as a test day and to give me seat time before Donington Park rally on 25th October.
