Have done a few more jobs this week.......got my crystal rear lights fitted, stripped my spare rear subframe and repainted it, pressed all the bushes etc out of the hub carriers ready for the polybushes, got my reverse light switch wired up,done some more waxoyling underneath, change the windscreen trim strips and given the old girl a wash and polish!......oh..and washed my Fairlady Z mats!

 

Once I get my polybush kit for the rear I can get my subframe rebuilt with the new ajustable arms etc and get it bolted on, the on to the front end!.......once I start to rebuild the subframe i'll post up some more pic :)

 

Must say a big thank you to Lee Dent of L.A Autos in Shrewsbury for use of his workshop, a real star and highly recommended for anyone in the Shrewsbury area that require servicing or repairs :)

Energy Suspension ones from Zcentre, £85+VAT.Will only be using the ones that fit in the hub carriers (bottom shock, upper arm and traction arm bushes) as my new arms are all rose-jointed and have a Driftworks Hicas eliminator to go on........but buying the full kit eorked out cheaper than buying the individual bushes I need.Also got rear wheel bearing grease seals and new PCV valves (and hoses) on order.

To be honest they stick out a little bit more at the bottom than the oe ones, but its not noticeable unless you get right up to them.

Im going back to the oem arms and all poly bushes, I dont rate Rose joints, they dont last to long on normal roads :(
