Managed some possible progress today though in the end. Hub primed and painted, new bearing on. Radiator subframe primed and painted to tidy it up, wasn’t going to be much else tbh. All ball joints out (except lower wishbone) ready for the new when they arrive. Even managed to remove the...

It was already fubard tbh so thought I’d have a go.. will need a new wishbone now.

Thanks for that mate, think it might be too far gone for the tool now as I got the hump and bashed 10 bells out of it! Lol Might have to be a new wishbone :(

Well managed to get a couple of hours free this morning.. Got the wishbone rear bush out in 30 seconds once the press was assembled. However the wishbone “ball joint” just doesn’t want to know. I’ve never seen such a poor design for a ball joint tbh. Two dissimilar metals wound together is...

Cars done 50k miles and 8 track days (in my ownership) and I doubt anything suspension/brake wise has been apart in a long time.

If I lose my temper the caliper will be ground in two pieces! Lol Yes got new pins and nipples etc..

12 ton press turned up, a few more parts too. Just waiting for the ball joints now which are on their way. Might be able to get a couple of hours on the car today, need to try and free the pins out of the calipers which is proving to be a complete pain in the ass.

Looks good mate. Wish I could say the same about mine! Lol

Looks easier to deal with than an old clio.

First batch of the massive parts haul arrived today.. Struggling to get the poxy pins out of the calipers, I know they can be a pain in the ass but these are welded in! Local garage wants £80 to press all the bushes/bearings so I’m going to buy a 12ton press for £80 and do them myself ! Lol...

Trying to source a mammoth amount of parts at the cheapest (but obviously quality matters) price. Any info/help is much appreciated Seen this ball joint kit on eBay which is ok on the price, just not sure on the quality??

Anyone know if this kit is any good/worth it? K tec want £90 per lower ball joint on their own Any other info welcomed

Thanks for that.. It’s all stripped now, the rad frame needed to come off anyway for an overhaul. Cheers

Well had 4 hours on the car today, managed to strip the whole of the o/s/f completely off inc Lower arm, hub, caliper, suspension leg etc and fit the o/s/r coilover. The front is gonna need some serious attention, both ball joints fubard also both anti roll bar links. Front bumper is off...

looking for some advice on how to get the wishbone off my 197 cup. The front bolt looks like it will hit the other subframe in front of it? Any help much appreciated

Coil overs arrived today. Cars done 200 miles now, so should be good to be mapped.

Mines coming before yours, it was a stipulation Lol

Good work. Funny I’m waiting for some coil overs too.

Bit cheaper than K tec too on the Pf’s

Looked at the reylands.. They look pretty decent tbh.
