Well things are progressing slowly .my finger is on the mend and now with help from my dad iv started taking the front suspenion to bits
the long job of stripping all the old underseal off everything is nearly done with a little help from a bowl of paraffin
2 coats of red oxide has now been applied to some bits the rest will get their 2nd coat tommorow then 2 coats of smooth coat black hammerite. hopfully this week il be ordering new boots for 3 of the ball joints ,the 4th being the orig upper with a grease nipple on is gonna be fully reconed as when cleaning the underseal off found that in its 37yrs of service the boots had desintergrated causing the ball to wear.have managed to get 2 recon kits from ebay today
