i want to keep the suspension the same, anyway the shocks had seen better days so i thought i would give them a bit of TLC so i had them stripped

so after they were stripped i gave them a couple of coats of primer before spraying

IMAG0538_zpsa686c4a8.jpg

whilst i was waiting for those to dry i fitted the rear beam back to the car looks smart :)

picked these set of rear wheel bearings up brand new off someone on here for £15 so got a good little bargain :)

IMAG0600_zps2c20d433.jpg

the power steering pump and pulley had seen better days so i thought i would freshen them up
