Yeah, I've got the metal frame out from underneath the car, or 90% of it anyway, just be interesting to see the actual shift box bit after you have hacked that about..

Small updates, but updates none the less..

I've taken the rear bushes out the control arms, ready for when the Powerflex ones arrive, front ones are solid anyway and decent condition, also sandblasted them ready for paint.



Also blasted the crossmember, both bits although you can only see one in this, which is also getting the Powerflex treatment.



Started doing my wheels, but there's way to many spokes and got bored. Started doing something else to them, which i've only partly finished and you will have to wait for pictures until happy with them.

 :rolleyes:

I do wish you'd prep things before doing work on them!

Get that front mount off and those bushes out before you do anything more to that front crossmember.

If the large bushes on the control arm are to be replaced, provided they're the same diameter as the G2 ones you hsould fit TT bushes - they'll last longer and be WAY more precise.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

What kind of blaster have you got?

and +1 for R32 bushes did it on mine after stitch welding them too.

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.
