Could be the exhaust hitting the rear beam

at the moment its still got the 13" steel wheels on it i checked the tops of the shocks and seam to be tight but on futher looking at them not sure ive done them right

when the shock thred comes through in to the car i have put the rubber donut looking thing on then the metal washer then the nut is that correct

Yep that's right.

I had this problem too, it turned out the suspension was hitting something but I couldn't figure out what it was. Jacking up both sides of the car and then putting it down again sorted it.
