ive done a weld repair to my drivers front wing as someone had fitted a airel(im guessing that the factory one is broken)

i then refitted the arch liner

then reassembled the hub set up and fitted the shock


then refitted the anti roll bar and bottom arms


and i also cleaned and painted the sump

then swapped the turbo wheels from my runaround


and its back on its wheels for the first time in months

Hi buddy,
Did you manage to get a refurb kit for your shocks or by refurb did you mean you sprayed the shocks up? As the spax on my daily driver, 106, could do with a rebuild. Where did you the get parts from?

Great project you got there looks sweet

i just wire wheeled the shocks back as they had surface rust on them then repainted and re applied the stickers.
they didnt need rebuilding as they were new on the car just before it was garaged 6 years ago so havnt actually done much milage
i think its cheaper to just but new than have shock internals repaired
