Time for a chassis refurb?
Discussion
Outriggers were done but not too happy with the welding.
After much cleaning and scraping I think this deserves a full body off, the rest of it is covered in waxoil and is a mess.
There are a couple of tiny holes in the chassis rail, one between the left upper wishbone brackets.
Second photo is upside down but you get the idea

The plan is to get the chassis blasted then paint it myself, not sure what to use, there have been enough threads on this but still undecided, has to be either white or silver&white mix with the wishbones the same.
New dampers all round then go from there, budget might all go on putting straight or have some spare for shiny bits
Has to look new from underneath thats what I'm looking for but with a view to use it and enjoy.
It won't be trashed in the salt and filth as a daily as so many were so should be easy enough to keep tip top

Just bog standard Rustoleum for me which got a few scrapes putting the diff back in.
I had a few doubts about how easy it would be which were confirmed this afternoon,
bit of a sequence, which I was getting wrong until it became obvious the front mounts were going to have to be last.
Handbrake cable looked ok so put that back too.

Can anyone advise on washers/spacers for the rear upper wishbone to upright? There's about a 5mm gap atm
front to rear: nut-spacer-upper wishbone bracket-pvc washer-bush/upright-pvs washer- 2x 2.5 mm spacers- rear upper wishbone bracket-spacer - bolt head
(hope it makes sense...)
Frank
The spacers must have escaped somehow

Have a read of this Alan. Adrian@ explains it well.http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=5&a...
No surprise on stumbling upon something that looks straight forward and finding anything but.
