Top strut bearings cleaned and ready to be re greased and reassembled hardly any wear in them at all despite the grit blasting they are permanently exposed to
New rear Quarter panel which picked up a small dent in transit. Engine hanging, and supported on a jack from below, mud below came off the subframe as I seemed to have scooped up quite a bit Rear end almost ready to bolt back in, waiting for a drop link to arrive. from B&G and it is late Phosphoric acid dip to remove rust prior to repainting a few bits it leaves a nice grey patina once dried. all these items looked horrid 24 hours ago. The bracket for the front self leveling sensor was particularly grotty no paint left on it at all. |

Nice rear end (pardon the pun) think you should remove the blower and give it to me though, it looks a bit heavy for your engine steady bar
