I reaped good and proper this time, it felt great
Thank you especially to:
Dan K - Door strut ball joint joint / strut swap / boot latch engine cover
Mike W - strut swap and chauffeur to Arbuckles, door cards to follow..
Mec - Door strut ball joint access and door mirror remover
Darren C - Door strut ball joint consultant
Miles - (saved me with an E clip to fix my passenger door mirror and had very dextrous hands to change some dash LED's)
Sam - Lifesaver in Swiss army spec pliers to do said LED's
James - cordless drill and virgin non-used super sharp drill bits
and of course Arran from DeloreanGo who got me the stainless steel door struts and engine cover latch, despite (an unusual) last minute request for the parts.
And, not forgetting everyone else that helped on my car or giving me some renewed enthusiasm on the motor
