Pasanger lower arm rebuild

Front lower arms first one blasted and wire brushed,

A small repair had to be done here as the shock nut was missing.

Firstly I welded in a piece of 2.5mm steel


Then ground down the weld,

And finally welded in a replacement nut after drilling a new hole.

After priming,spraying and fitting the new powerflex bushings I have a complete lower arm.

Here I am pressing in the new bushings,

luckily I found a piece of aluminum pipe that fits perfectly over the bushing for pressing.

I origionally bought this car to have for weekend driving and so on, I had in mind to tidy up the overall basic apperance starting with the interior then wheels etc; but once I started to remove certan parts I soon realised that this is going to need a little more than a tidy up,

Of course this being a blog page the most recent work I have done will be displayed first.
(a bit like reading a book from back to front really)
