Evening all,
I had a snow day yesterday and spent the afternoon on a movie marathon on the grounds that all work and no play makes Keyser a sad boy and cause it was freezing and all the parts I need had snow on them
But Bob popped over today and we had a few hours in the ZedShed starting with the sub frames
As you can see a bit of surface rust as they have been sitting about for over a year since they were prepped!
also the previous owner said the suspension etc was not all done up properly he had just fitted it back together so it didn't get lost - then he ended up selling it.
as you can see
Anyway we got them completely stripped ready for prep (gonna be painted)
Then after Bob went home I started on the rear suspension arms (well one)
Previous owner kindly fitted new brake shoes - not sure if he put new seals in the slave cylinder but at £6.50 each new I may just replace them saves stripping the hub down if they leak and they have been stood a long while!
Then I started to clean the worst of the rust off
the plan (currently) is to get all the suspension parts stripped down then setup a sandblasting booth at the weekend and get everything cleaned ready for rust primer and paint next week.
Stay tuned for the next exciting episode ......................
