Awesome work, my heart always skips a beat when I see a new post in this thread....
Alright folks??? Everybody good????
Got the rear suspension (and some other bits) blasted:
That lot got Zinc plated:
Rear beam assembled got powdercoated:
Made sure underneath was looking FRESH!!!!:
Rear trailing arms were treated to new seals/bearings and fitted up:
Hung the doors on:
Stripped the wiper assembly down to its bare bits and gave it a blast/paint:
And that's about where i'm at... out of date loctite kinda cut today short but fingers crossed it'll be rolling next weekend...

Love it. Did you do the coating yourself? Ive still to try out my electroplating kit.
Do you know anywhere selling axle pins that the arms locate onto? No one seems to do them anymore unless you go to IM Axles, who seem to be getting a bad rep for using cheap Chinesium parts nowadays.
Love the pushrod rear end, I wonder how it changes the feel.

The torsion bars have to stay as they keep the trailing arms located on the beam.. the main aspect of the kit was to relocate the dampers and go from a VERY stiff unit operating on a 3:1 ratio to the wheel.. to a much more controllable 1:1 ratio where they are now..
I remember reading decades ago in CCC, due to needing to keep the original mounting points in use, someone had engineered a rocker in there, so shocks in the original position were operated closer to 1:1 to give more control - as the suspension moved, it compressed one end, while compressing the other at the same time via pushrod and the rocker. Ingenious!
Iirc Danielson (not to be confused with Daniel-san out the Karate Kid) had a setup along those lines on one of their AXs.

two words "Simply Stunning" 
Alright folks... how are you all???
Right, been a bit busy recently... i could give you a list of excuses but basically... i dont have to explain myself to you lot
First up, started a new engine mount, but i'll show you more of that when i get the rest finished....
Dragged the gearbox outside for some TLC in the sun and various bits of the engine got plated/anodised/vapour blasted....
So we had them bits... and an empty engine bay....
I think you can tell the next stage.....
