Still coming together in the front.
New bearings are in. Both right and left front suspensions have been disassembled cleaned, bead blasted, painted, magnafluxed, and reassembled with new bushings. Springs look great in silver
I will clean the brake calipers and paint as I reinstall..
Turns out that the drilled and slotted rotors were installed on the wrong wheels 5 years ago. It was before I owned it, but the work was done by a local Brit car specialty shop who shall remain nameless.
Cleaning up a lot of patchwork done over the last 50 years.
Turns out that the car was originally Cherry Red. Cleaned up some of the engine compartment and a bit of the black paint peeled right off revealing the original factory color that was preserved under the steering rack clamps. It is actually quite nice and I'm not sure why the car was repainted Silver. Maybe when I get some money together I'll have the car stripped and repainted to original, although my wife has taken a liking to the current color.
Next on to the rear.
