Why so greedy on pics

i can imagine how that went to busy putting the engine in, in one go so completely consumed by finishing the job... to realize he didn't take any pictures ( it happens to me a lot, so much so that I don't even bother to take pictures unless i know my hands are going to be clean)

New day, something new to do. New lemforder sway bars
Rethreaded a bolt for battery tray support as last time i only rethreaded the hole and i was too lazy to rethread the bolt aswell
Found the washing fluid hole, a elbow

Honestly from what i know the red dot is a myth. Do you have led on the inside? And i don’t think a driveshaft would give oscilation at 40 km/h and nothing after. Maybe bearing? Or not enough led on the rim?

@NielsJ I agree with @horaa on this one (that's what lead weights are for to balance the wheel out) but I've experienced a bad drive shaft doing this vibration thing at low speeds myself, but it was after I replaced the front bearings that I finally found out the original shaft had to much play on the CV joint. I replaced both the drive shafts and both front bearings... (PS replacing the driveshafts for my car is cheaper than replacing the cv joint boots)

So far 800km done on the new tires. They are flawless and my suspicion of 5h1tty rubber has been put to shame. No vibration at whatever speed, low noise, nice grip and feedback. YEHAA! :-D
There's far less balance weights on the inside than there used to be, so perhaps the former workshop was just as bad as I expected them to be after my first (and last) visit :-|

PS. Today's job: clean side mirrors

TBH didn't take many. Was too stuck in with the task. Pulled the engine and box out the top, swapped bits over nad in the same way. Two very strenious 12 hr days

Don't worry, you actually have some pictures, i had none of most of the things i did to my car, because either dirty hands or to busy getting it sorted out.
