The front suspension is assembled. I also started with the calipers for cleaning and painting, but the pistons are stuck, so I need to sort that out.
Now starting with rebuilding the rear diff. I’ve allready painted the axle, but I’m not completely satisfied with the result so possibly I’l do it again.
A rebuild heater, painted, new packings and seals, core repaired and cleaned and the motor tested and cleaned.
Two years since my last update, about time for a new one. Progress on the car is slow. Lots of bodywork was neccessary because of some rust and many old poorly repaired damages covered under layers of filler. They all where redone in a proper way. Now the body is nearly finished and I hope I can drop it off at a paint shop within a few months.
I’m also busy rebuilding the front suspension and the rear suspension will be next. This so the car can get back on its wheels after painting.
