Cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning-front suspension.

Evening folks,

Yesterday did most of the cleaning but had to do a bit more today, one of my least favorite tasks in refurbishing an old car. Good thing I'm passionate about E Types?
I'll just let the pictures do the talking tonight.

Lower control arm with bushing that has seen it's best days 

Same bushing

Front suspension parts cleaned and painted 

The disc brake shield and sway bar, both painted black

The cleaned control arm supports, cleaned and ready for their new bushings

Had to remove the steering rack to replace the old steering rack mounts, will clean it up a bit and install new gators.

front sans steering and sway bar

New mounts in the fore ground, bushings in the support arms.

Well that it for today, will be taking a Grandfather day tomorrow so won't be back till Friday.

Cheers,
Lynn

  1. The painted suspension parts look lovely. Replacing the rack mounts really helped the driving feel of my car and the new bushings are just as important as well. Can't wait to hear the results of the test drives.

    1. Morning Drew, I sure hope Jennifer notices a difference. No mater what it should be a safer car with the rebuilt braking system. Appreciate your thoughts as always!
