The latest was getting new wheel bearings for the Jag front end, sounds easy enough, ring CBC yes no problems with the bearings but we cant supply the proper seal the nearest one is 1/2 a mm bigger. No worries need new sway bar links call Jagdaim and for $25.00 per side complete with seals. Parts arive check the seal and it isnt the same as what came out and feels very low tension, oh well lets just get the front back on, press the cones into the hub mount the new discs, what the %^&$ the bearing doesnt fit the stub, take the old ones to CBC yep standard holden $23.70 later and I have enough bearings to do both sides. Deep breath mumble something to myself and get on with it.

Jag fronts seem to have a few different bearing and seal combinations. I found mine had different hubs on each side with different seal setups. I reckon the front end must have been in a bingle and had a hub replaced at some point.

Not a problem now though since I built my own hubs and pissed the original ones off.

Yes, at least I finished on a high.

Just did a trial fitting of my wheels and all looks good.

Am fitting the tyres tomorrow so tomorrow night is the big night for the "full look" of the wheels and tyres.

Externally other than mirrors the car will be looking like the finished product bar the painting - which I'll do after rego.

Looking forward to seing the new chassis sitting on its wheels. We've only seen bits and pieces of the new car so far. It'll be good to see one rolling.

Cheers
