yep i got it wrong so the half shaft pulled out of the box , clean it up and try and slide it back in you might have damaged o rings when it was pulled out

this picture is where your drive shaft hit during the accident so might have bent it slightly

i am little confused and i might have this wrong , your drive shaft on your old one pulled out of the inner cv attached to the box leaving you with the spline end, so the second hand unit is a complete shaft with inner cv attached

can you take a pic of your old shaft and new shaft beside each other

is this not your second hand part and if so i can see the flange intact on the end of the shaft

i would not start the car until you have checked the oil level in the box

should ad make sure the circlip comes out at drive shaft end as it would have been ripped out during the accident

your second hand unit looks like the shaft is complete, as you say just remove the 6 bolts and pop the end out new one in, if you do that  and put disc caliper etc back in place i can't see a mechanic charging you to much for a new brake pipe and bleeding the brakes

Firstly kudos for taking this on, been looking forward to your update

i am no expert but as you say simplifying having the complete strut now.

i can't see from your pictures but i assume the top mount is still in the car, i would remove that first,

2 as the drive shaft has pulled out of the box surely you have to remove the cv end from the box, i would say your old shaft has the potential to be damaged and would not be using it again even a slight off would cause vibration .

3 i would offer up the whole second hand strut up including drive shaft and get it rolling and then take it to someone for brake pipe work gearbox oil etc

my 2 cents but don't know how capable you or with the spanners, keep up the good work

now thats what i call a drive ^^^^^^^^

yesterday well it actually took a week, rear brakes, pads shoes discs handbrake tubes new caliper bolts, 1 stud ceased solid had to pull the hub off and get it machined out also 2 new drop links my wallet is crying

good man i'm just sorry you missed the seats .

Tyres next?

believe it or not they were on the car when i bought it and it had just passed mot, they were the first things i changed.

i did my front discs and pads, caliper bolts were a pig 3 days soaking and quarter turn at a time, new caliper bolts and disc screws fitted

also finally got my dodgey coil pack changed, rounded allen key bolt was a pig to get out must have took me 3 hours in between smoke breaks :-)

Thanks to jason986s buying my washer quadrants i was able to purchase these and get them fitted

also picked some new side grills as the tabs were broken in a few places and for the price i just did both sides can't believe how grey looking the old ones were.

clay barred polished also washed and conditioned the leather, just waiting on a few parts hopefully wednesday .
