jody391 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I am going to be refurbing my suspension, paint strip etc etc in the new year hopefully before chatsworth! I have the car in a garage but am un able to get around it properly so I may do it outside. So I was just wondering where others have completed the same job, any pics?

Martin R Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Lightweight, its easy Here is the size of mine. Keep it right over, do one side. Move it over and do the other side. Then remove the engine afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jody391 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Wow Martin I think I have slightly more room than you! I'll shut up and get on with it!! Lol Did you get the wishbones painted etc? Did you make a wheel dolly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin R Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 A wheel dolly? I have a tea dolly ( Liz ) I cleaned them and then coated them with POR 15 a few times. They will never rust again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jody391 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Ha ha does Liz read this forum?!?! If I get the wishbones re painted etc I'd like to do it all in one go so thought of using a wheel dolly to get it up onto so I can move it around. Now that you mention it my wishbones are pretty good still.. Could be worth just a clean and paint hmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
