more brackets cleaned:
more miscellaneous heat shields wire wooled and cleaned
leading bumper brackets given a coat of 4941 rust prevention wax
and hung to dry
the rest of the black powder coated parts given a few thick layers of FK1000p to bead off the water
same goes for the PSS10, and given a general clean and a small wire wool at the bases

new side support heatshields, £60 a pop
new RS M003 clubsport strut brace (a 964 part)
plated silencer straps ! Came out better than expected
We all love new shiny things.
blasted
and lacquered
early next week they'll get rebushed with RS shore 85 inserts
new front RS top mounts
and the rears
Ooopss... the RS spring cap doesn't fit inside the smaller Bilstein PSS10 springs. That'll be £80 down the swanny then. Time to go to my man on the gypsy site in West Molesey to get an aluminium copy fabricated that will fit properly.
and heres the remains of that pesky ball joint that was impossible to split .... GTone took one and half hours labout to get it off the upright ! Much use of large very very hot flames, massive pullers, guns, big huge mallets and tons of swearing.

I'm honestly stunned, amazed, in shock as I read this thread. You, sir, are amazing! Some years ago I did a frame off restoration on a pickup truck.....I was proud of it, but your work is far beyond mine! WOW.
