New bits on order

Post by kev » Tue Jan 13, 2009 5:41 pm

Just ordered new shocks ,ball joints,track rod ends ,drop links and wishbone bushes.
I want to get them fitted before I drop the engine in .Have plenty of time as the engine will
need painting ,new timing belt and tensioners etc .
Looking forward to remove the old bushes :lol:
Oh subframe will get a coat of paint too.Anyone painted springs before ?
If so what paint did you use ?
Will post pics as it happens.
