bframes dropped and stripped, oh what fun it is to have 49 year old rubber bushes to remove that have sat comfortably for all them years 😂. 🔥 was the only means to get them removed as they was stubborn little buggers! The rear arms were very weak in terms of their structural integrity so I decided to weld on some reinforcements, had to make up a brake pipe plate as I won’t have access to the pipes with a spanner with the additional support. A common modification in the 02 scene, decided to leave mine open to hopefully prevent corrosion over the years rather than box them in completely. The good news is everything has been stripped to its bare bone on the running gear and has been handed over to the powder coater to make it all look pretty! Have lots of goodies on order including poly bushes so it’s exciting times and thoroughly enjoying the light in the evenings to tinker along. Haven’t forgotten the e30! Have some tasty additions but waiting on one rear bumper to arrive then can get that painted, Back on road to enjoy for the summer! Will share once It’s ready 😜
