even the strut top mounting/bearing gets serviced

and finished product

spot the difference

unfortunaley i couldnt get yellow caliper paint yesterday or they would have been done tout: yes ive fliped it lol

Looks good. Is there plenty of protection on the paint though, you want to make sure it lasts looking that good.

cheers paul iam going to give it all a few coats of clear laquer once ive painted everything, i used a zinc primer to prevent rusting and just a basic black satin top coat,iam practising on this car if it turns out good i will do my blurple one too.will need to goto another halford to get my yellow caliper paint though as i want it in a spray can,will be better to get into all the nooks and crannies and the springs are powder coated

 

[p.whitelock]

Cool. It does look rather good.

Nice going Paul, shame you missed a bit :sosp:

well what can i say after using a electric sander wire brush drill attachments the hub and strut were easy just dont the caliper and slider a tad bit more difficult just need to paint them now

Yeh I believe you!! You probably have a Dyson then. All men luv a Dyson - that guy deserves a sainthood. :yesnod:
All he needs to do now is invent an iron that attracts men in the same way and he'll never go hungry again
