Subframe and beam above done with a 3 stage powdercoat so they blast, zinc coat, prime then powdercoat. Should last for years. Coat of stone chip protector afterwards out of a can as powdercoat can chip quite badly. At the moment i’ve got a load of small brackets i’ve been playing about with...

Rich i had been meaning to post some pics of the subframe and beam when i got the chance...

Just put the parts away and sorting the older parts that have been replaced. Compared a few side by side and noticed the rear dampers look different. On closer inspection they also have a different part number - new are 01 025 828. Old dampers are branded de Carbon and are part number 01 025...

Haha hopefully it is treasure you find!

Would be massively appreciated! If you do find it don’t worry about cleaning it, if it’s in one piece and all the carpet pile is there that would be perfect. Good soak in cleaner and a pressure washer will see to the dirt :blush:

Big patch worn away on the back footrest part behind drivers side for some reason. Looks like something was spilt on it, possibly cellulose thinners.

Wish me luck finding an original, new or good condition williams carpet!

Few other bits waiting to go on....

So a tiny update on the worlds slowest restoration/rebuild.... Managed to source some new OE suspension parts, 2x front dampers, 2 springs, pair of wishbones, rear dampers and a couple of minor bits and bobs (aerial mount, oil filter etc). All subframe, suspension, transmission, brake parts...

Yeah it looks a lot better but definately spray some graviguard or similar stone chip paint to stop the powdercoat chipping. I spoke to the powdercoater about the baking and the rubber before i dropped them off. They done a long low temperature bake and they come out fine. Friendly powdercoater...

So the consencus is get them redone flush. Gonna have to go with that then i think! It does annoy spending all that money and it's not perfect. He showed me cars he was restoring in his workshop - all the body repairs were flush but chassis' were all patches like mine. Spent £1100 on the...

No the arms are pressed on with the rubber bushing. If i could have got the rubbers i would have taken them all apart. I prepped around the arms where they meet the beam so they didnt need to sand blast near the rubber (gaffer taped the rubber too) Came out nice ill get pics soon next time im...

I've got a few pics whilst dismantling :up: That might give you a bit of an idea...definately get a slide hammer and WD40! Nothing else to do apart from screw your slide hammer with (i think) m12 bolt into each end and knock them out. My inner 2 were a b*stard to get out (thats why i took...

I said to him is it just going to be a low point for water to gather...he said the low point is the seam that runs the length of where the sill joins to the floor so he'd be more worried about that! I do see his point and its nice welding, but got the doubt in my mind again now! I was...

Do yoy know where i can get any parts for the rear beam? Only really interested in the rubbers but will consider any parts available!
