Thats it Stu and it comprises of two parts I've got the bit that has the retaining clip on its the piece it clips together to that bolts on the bodywork. I'm going to retrace my steps again tomorrow it has to be here somewhere.

Stu I'll have a good look tomorrow when I get home and confirm with you, there is one further item I am looking for, I have ordered a new one but its looking unlikely to get here in time, It's the rubber bulk head grommet that the air con pipes etc go through... Have I been daft and not opened my eyes to the fact you have had that shell on your drive up until last week, have you by chance got that in your spares box or did it go with the shell?
Thanks there... Plod along step by step you will get there trust me I know
Thanks Micky, the cell light came on with mine it did not like the de cat.
I spoke with Andy at Ace today and I'll take both OEM down pipes up there and he will make two into one so the sensor is after the cat as on the import, that should sort it

Another few small items on the final stretch
Some fresh aluminium paint...
Also after refreshing the black case on the windscreen wiper motor the rest looked really scabby so I've masked it up and given it a quick coat of etch primer ready for the aluminium paint next.

Dropped off all the bolts etc today for zinc coating... 7-14 days turn around, hopefully closer to the 7 fingers crossed.
Picking up all the fresh painted parts shortly so an update later I hope with some very different looking pictures than how it started life
And wiper motor finished.

I had a good chat with Alyn earlier Micky from AS Performance and he explained it all to me so I know where I am, yes your correct there... The jap spec has that extra sensor to detect if the car is still running a cat and if not a warning light will show, a requirement in Japan apparently. It does not answer my warning light but not to worry about that lets see what happens when it's back running for now. Thanks for the input though much appreciated

Cat on Fire light IIRC.
I think that sensor is still plugged in mine, think being the operative word.
Glad Alyn is local, as I wouldn't want your phonebill. International call for that long......

Not long got back home unloaded the car and trailer... Cheers Kev for the help
I'm very very pleased with the results.... I hope you like the colour scheme as the grey will be forgiving when dirty, easy to touch up any chips as it is not metallic or lacquered and it is an agricultural machinery paint which will dry very hard indeed and wear well which is I feel what you need under the car, in fact all of the paint used silver/black/grey/red is all the same brand so it's all up for the job fully.
You will still see some patches showing through where it was blasted clear of rust, I did not want a super smooth super new finish, to me I wanted the history of the car still there.... Apart from the struts and rear arb all is the original car which maintains its integrity in my eyes, I could have replaced with better condition parts but then it's not an 18 year old car... I'm calling it a sympathetic restoration
See what you think chaps.
Coat of black on the springs as well.
Great finish on the shields as well.
New bushes will look fantastic in these.
