So found some more time recently to crack on with this. Really need to get a move on so it can see the road next summer.
So started putting some bits back on this now and got the first coat of paint underneath. Also done a few coats on the inside floor as I was sick at looking at it!
I have new front bearings to be fitted to the front and then they can go back on with the tie bars and new bushes for the bottom arms so they can be refitted. I tried pressing them in myself and it broke the vice so will be taking them to the garage to fit.
All good jobs.
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one PepsiFar from suicidalStill I get them tendenciesBringing back them memories
That I really miss when I reminisce
Refitted the sound proofing which is in ok condition, just a little ripped around the accelerator pedal.
I've cleaned up the heater box so that can be reattached tomorrow but will dig out the speedo cable first as I always remembered that being a arse of a job to get that through the hole when the dash was in. Also the knuckles have been collected with new bearings fitted and the bottom arms have new bushes so again can refit tomorrow if time permits.

Ahh so the refitting has begun! The best and most satisfying part!
Does fill good to put it back together. It's just the inner arches and rear floor to finish but they are in far far better condition than the rest was. Just a few welds, a rub down, then under seal and paint. Hopefully the dirty bits will be completed by the end of January whilst still re fitting stuff and starting on the engine.
So most of the front running gear is put back together now, may even drop it on wheels so I can paint where the front axle stands have been for the last year and half. I am having trouble with the passenger ball joint being pressed into the knuckle so borrowing a c clamp to hopefully sort that.

Also fitted the rad fan I had but it is the smaller option and the radiator is a larger one. It's fine and doesn't move but may need to find a larger one once it's running
Have also completed the main underside painting so just leaves the back end to finish. The sound deadening has been removed from the spare wheel well so just needs tidying and I'm in the process of refitting the engine loom to the car.
Talking engine I have shifted the garage around and made up the engine stand so I can crack on with that between jobs this Dec/Jan.
