Very nice project! Get more pictures on the go!
thank you! i keep forgetting to take the camara to work, didn't want to overkill with the pictures as they may bore people, will do more as i go on.
spent an hour or so on thursday doing a few bits,
started by cleaning the top mount bearings and re greasing them, nice and free now
the shock with the spring compressed and top mount on, was worried about scratcing the shock but the cloth saved that happening, didn't paint the top cup, looks pants
and both struts ready to go back on
next thouhgt i'd takle the anti roll bar, as it looked on the sub frame
and off it, i'm a bit concerned about the amount of rust and hoping when it goes back on there is no play in the mounts, as it does seem to look a bit thinner as i did knock a load of rust off it
prepped
and painted
made a very small start on the subframe, cleaned it and straightend the front edge out, looked as if someone had leavered or jacked on it.
as i'd spent a couple of evenings doing a few bits on the car thought i'd leave and take my girlfriend out for a meal as we lost out on a couple of evenings together, sorted a baby sitter and off we went, hopefully i'll get a bit done over the weekend and take my camara for some decent picture,

sorted a few more bits out the last few days, painted the subframe, took the arms off the second hand steering rack, replaced with new arms and track rod ends
and the arm fitted with the clip fitted correctly
and the subframe ready to go back in, but only after the engine comes out to get sorted

The front lip where behind where the radiator sits? that's meant to be bent. Don't worry, I bent one back too thinking it looked wrong!
Nice progress.

i will do my best, but on a budget but already spent a bit, gear knob £35, i'll have to put a picture up, i'll do it now

love the amount of detail going into this, wish i had a garrage with a ramp i could use, would always be doing projects. looking forward to the final pics.
LOL at people saying about painting the brake disks! it will go within say 2 seconds of breaking, and will giv perfect lines around wher the pad sits!

Looks wicked so far, can't believe i didn't see this before. Great little bargain, and with all the right tools and knowledge you'll probably earn a fair bit on it, not to mention enjoy getting to make something epic again. Best of luck, look forward to seeing more updates.
E bay, think the blokes got lots of them as i missed a few and he keeps putting then on, so he may still have some, lot of money but worth it
4 grades of metal poilsh, brought at the enfield pagent years ago, but just got a few bits more off ebay, £25 for a full set of wax and buffers
