Default Swapping over complete IRS cradle

Just wanted to know how easy/hard this is, and how long would it take, just to plan ahead. How hard is it to get it back up is it as simple as bolting in the 2 front cradle bolts and then jacking the rear up and putting in the 2 rear bolts?

Well im off to a wonderful start with 1 broken rear chassie bolt, i got it all in and then had to pull it all out again cause i then found that the S1 handbreak cable is longer than in S2, so i have had to pull it all out again so that i can swap that over now, and then try again.

Note to self, with an LSD putting 2 wheels on it doesnt make it easy to move around. Note 2 - IRS cradle to heavy to lift by one's self.

Yep all done now, car drives far better, performance wise its not very good, but thats more as issue of me changing stuff while it was apart and therefore a fair wack out of tune.

Now im going to lie down till 2pm tomorrow when i have to goto work to give my back time to recover, im sore, real sore!
