Haha okay i was being a bit dramatic earlier. Was having a down moment but a day of decent weather and actual progress has brightened my spirits.
Today I fitted the grooved discs on the front and cleaned up the slider pins. One of them had seized solid, had to use mole grips to get enough force onto it to remove. All cleaned and lubed up with lithium grease.
Then thought mmm i guess ill fit one coilover while the sun is still out, an hour later and it's in. Took a little while longer as the inner cv joint fell out which was a brown trouser moment.
Sun was still out and 20 minutes later the other one was done. Twas alot less seized so didn't take most of the time hammering the hub to beak it loose. Also helped alot to undo the drop links
Going to get the manifold done correctly, borrowing the cuore so can drop it off at the local garage on my way back from the doctors tomorrow.
Can't fit the original as sold it just before finding out mine was cracked. Typical.
