I stripped everything down, replaced the cv joints and front wheel bearings while I was at it and had the calipers media blasted and are at the electroplating company as we speak. I am going for that absolute stock as new look..
As you can see, the hub assembly had lost its paint and had surface rust so off it went to the media blaster and after a few coats of high temp spray paint…..
The brake guard was gently sanded where there were speckles of surface rust, then zinc oxide primer and tough black satin spray..
As you can see, the shock absorber was also stripped and painted, the spring done in gloss black tough black. I stuck dum dum over the green paint marks while I painted it so it keeps that original look..
New nuts where possible.. Where not possible, the guy at the electroplating company restored them for me.
New brake hoses too.. Just waiting on the calipers back.. Very happy so far.. Please ignore the original wax oil under the arches, it looks like areas of black dirt but it is in fact the original wax oil. I will give under the arches a tickle up when I have finished the suspension..

Managed to break 1 running car..so now have 2 cars end to end both not firing up. green one was working white one not.. Whilst waiting for parts to arrive I thought I'd swith ignition leads and distributor cap from green to white see if that would fire him up.. nope. On returning leads back and the cap to the green machine he no longer starts….. fxxkin nightmare.
Haha what a complete fool….I managed to reread some info regarding not setting up as per Haynes and follow what was done by last service.. I was 1 place out on the distributor leads. Even after marking them.. The green machine is alive…
