Front Suspension
Finally got to put bits on rather than wrestle them off.
First up are the upper and lower wishbones. Rebushed with polybushes all round.
Then the vertical link, with new upper balljoints. Finally, new springs, again with new poly spacers.
There are a gazillion pieces in the front suspension, and lots of opportunities to make mistakes.
I also got a bit distracted with a zinc plating kit from some of the bolts- see before and after, below.

Next up, the front hubs. New bearings and new discs. Starting to look like something.
Refurbished the front calipers: new pistons, seals and pads. Quite a difference from the starting point- see before and after below.
Added refurbished steering rack, anti- roll bar and a few more bits and pieces. Then got a bit carried away with new wire wheels. Good incentive to do the rear!
