Front end back in finally



After many weeks i found the time to pick up the front sub-frame from Pearce and Taylor after being re-alligned. When i first got it back it was painted in a glossy black and not preppared quite well enough for my liking. So i rubbed it back and cleaned it up properly then layed down a few coats of the same satin black epoxy based paint as i used on the rear cradle. I was quite happy with the end result and now its back in the car. Once it was bolted up i fitted the upper links and uprights. The hubs got bolted back on and lower control arms also fitted. Now im only short the adjustable castor rods and pillow ball strut tops to suit the Apexi front shocks.

Since the last post i have also cleaned/painted/refitted:
