My reasoning is Don’t fix wot ain’t broke.
If it breaks then I’ll fix it. If you noticed I fixed everything that’s a nightmare with Body on.
You can play on the 4 corners easily so I’ll go for new ones just so they are better than yours
What front drop links are you using.
I have Racetech proper ones ,,,,,,, and new rubbers


Racing green new ones
Along with new ball joints

I just enjoy the fact I recognise all those brackets which a couple of years ago would have looked like a jigsaw to me. I’m weirdly looking forward to seeing those all coated up.

Nice job all round.
That’s a very bespoke colour on those there rockers. Very posh

Candy apple purple Big A
The brackets are off for a bath with some zinc and electricity

One job finished

Red brake runner grease will help you assemble that lot, fit dust boot to lower part of piston whilst engaging the raised lip on boot into caliper body grooved recess then slowly ease piston into bore , don't force otherwise dust boot damage is certain if it jams pull out and start again observing that boot to groove seating is 360 degree sound , easier done that described sadly ,

Got the grease
All way grateful for the top tips

Looking really good so far. What do you plan for the chassis once all the welding is done.

I would assume blasting but then what, paint or powdercoat ?

Big fan of 2 pack epoxy paint myself but i am not going to preach my choice, just wondered what yours is going to be.

At the moment hot zinc spray
Then 2pack or coat not sure
A good customer restores Land Rovers and has some fancy top coat he uses normally found in the North Sea

If you do go paint then this link from a while back should be of interest.

Should now read 12 years on and still as new.

Nice one

No more bushes

[jojackson4]

Luckily I have a 10 ton press to hand
Uprights had 6.5 ton on them before they let go

[jojackson4]

Fab work done







Got some room back

[jojackson4]

Getting ready to do the engine
Heads off for a look and check piston crowns
All looks good
Shame a certain engine builder that starts with A forgot to do the top hats that they billed a former owner for
