The rear of car done turned attention to front end, The engine and gearbox were dropped out as one and have found new home for over a year on garage floor being turned over by hand and spanner every now and then to keep everything free



First up was unbolting engine cradle and front running gear, again my mate ed, sorry ross was round with his engine crane to help make life a lot easier



only a few bolts and away it came



Next was separating the gearbox from the engine, again few bolts to untighten, lifted the engine crane a bit then pulled the 2 apart



Back at base which has become my mates house stripped the suspension arms, front hubs and steering rack from the ungine cradle



All these bits were again sandblasted to get rid of any rust



Even the brakes which I was going to part exchange for some recon’s were blasted



And after lick of paint



Compared next to the rears were like brand new again so money in pocket for elsewhere





Everything else was again painted







Ill do a little follow up to this later, hadn’t realised had so many pics of front
