Two days of sitting idly whilst popping the little bubbles of bubble wrap ?

I guess your replacing the Assembly arm-lower rear suspension components on both sides

rear upper suspension arm enjoy!

Well look on the bright side, at least the weather's going to be nice.

I don't know, a bit of reshaping, shotblasting, welding, and painting perhaps

Depends if you envisage the upper arms lasting more than a couple of years I suppose

grs6680 · 24th February 2019, 10:00

well this is what I'm up to at the minute full rear end rebuild here are a few photos next stop rimmers.not bad to say I only wanted to change the rear discs.

Nice one Gordon, you will find the yoke that bolts onto the rose joint is the wrong shape though, leaving it open even when the M12 bolt is pulled up tight

You also have to remove 5mm from the diameter of the lower spring isolator, otherwise it's impossible to fit it into the pan of the new upper arm, due to the pressing being in the wrong place, along with the cutouts for the drop links

At least they will have a decent coat of paint by the look of things

Wow, the size of your workshop would like to have that sort of space.

Unfortunately my garage is full and not that big so I only have my parking space to do things in.
