Front Steering & Suspension:
The front cross member was removed earlier as part of the strip down, and gradually I took it apart to de-rust and paint it.

 

Front suspension components, derusted and painted. 

 

The lower inner arm bushes were replaced with the V8 type single bush, a home made puller made the job easier. 

 

The front suspension will be lowered by using shorted springs, these are 1.5 inches lower, and should bring the front down to chrome bumper height. 

 

Original steering rack, cleaned and painted.
