Well time for an update, just in case u thought the noob had given up.
Been slow progress but have been saving bickies to renew the front/rear suspension.
Ive learnt a lot since starting this project and after removing the suspension and steering gear, I have a better understanding of how this all works.
I have bought control arms,spring saddles,insulators ,tie rod bushes,sway bar bushes,rear shackle/eye bushes etc.
There isnt really anything else that can be taken off the car.
Forgive the sh#tty pics from the iphone.
The diff.
Noob question.
Is this a 9 inch diff ?
Do the numbers on it mean anything ?
Due to a lack (and cost) of a rotissere, the car is on a hoist and tires at the the moment to make work on the underside a bit easier.
The undercarriage has all been resealed, had deadener put on and primed up ready for a shot of black gloss.
Note how the etch primer has not stuck to the roof.
This was because I had the roof soda blasted.
I have been told this is because the sufrace is too fine for the paint to get hold. Also been told its because it wasnt cleaned properly before spraying the etch primer on.
Whatever the reason, it needs sanding back again.
The engine bay is also ready for a shot of black satin.
So soon Im going to be reaching the bit of a milestone that Ive been looking forward to.
The time when sh#t starts going back ON the car. :)
