From today I will focus back on the front end suspension and brake rebuild. I have noticed whilst under the car that there is an engine oil leak from the back of the engine. I will add this to my list of jobs, potentially looking at a new head gasket and instant gasket sealant?
I still need to order for the front:
- Front caliper rebuild kit
- 1.8 brake pads (I did the 1.8 brake upgrade years ago).
- Blue hammerite paint
- Paint for springs
Upper and lower front ball joints have been ordered, along with spring compressors and black hammerite paint. Still going to require a trip to halfords for Blue Hammerite at some point when I’m ready for it.
Tomorrow I hope to strip the nearside front suspension and Anti Roll Bar so I can take them to work on Monday and use my breaks to media blast and press out the bushes. That reminds me; I still need to find the wheel nut key so I can clean up the hubs and paint them….FOUND IT!
