In readiness for the strip down tomorrow, I have been out to spray all the fixings on the beam assembly. I took and subsequently have been looking at photos taken of the beam assembly, and realised there is not much of it that will actually be kept.
Everything on the braking system will be renewed, Back plates are shot and as for shot blasting the bearings have to come out.....I assume its not worth putting old ones back in......( I’m sure thats what Lee will recommend. ) all the rubber bushes will be renewed, most of the nuts and bolts, so It would appear that all I’m left with is the Beam, trailing arms , diff , drive shafts, ARB, and some plastic clips......and possibly the arb brackets.....everything else is pants !!!!!!
One of the springs is good the other looks like it will snap at any moment , the two bottom spring mounts are crap, but the top ones are ok.......Shocks seem to be ok.....but I will have to put the roof up to get them out ( which means reconnecting the switch and turning the ignition on,) so for now they can stay where they are.
Still should be fun tomorrow
