    And this is how they come back mint .



    So then I decided to get the old bushes out the sub frames and wishbones the easy way !







    Until we run out of gas in the little blow touch .

    So I took them to my pals who kindly pressed them out for me so I could drop them off to powder coat .

    And they come back like this .

    At this point I was not going to change all the bushes or powder coat the suspension parts but as I come this far why not so I ordered all the new bushes from Quattro corner









    And some time last year I bought some koni shocks and h&r springs for the car as I wanted to drop it 25mm or so .

    But when hamish was selling his coilovers I was thinking this is more like it I neeeed these on my car but mr Tonks beat me to the punch .

    So when I was chatting to Tonks he told me he would convert my existing suspension to coilovers for me you just need to get the kit off bambridge .

    So I ordered the kt from him to be sent to Brian and I would drop off my suspension off to him .

    On the lead up to Christmas we decided to strip the car down all the interior running gear off windows out and all the engine bits out so I could media blast the engine bay back to bare metal ready for the new inner wing to be wielded in buy roger next door .

    Now with the media blaster it would not remover the seam sealer as it was in good condition it just bounced off so we decided as the car is solid it's doing a good job so far why not just touch it up where needs be and leave well alone .



    Now with a nice coat of etching primer from frost auto restoration .

    When I was buying the car my pal told me its a solid car but it needs a new back panel and he had one I could have with the car .



    So the new one was put in buy jeff next door to quattronutters unit .

    And on inspection of the car when he was stripping it there was some small holes behind the rear bumper .




    And after quattronutter pulling the engine and gearbox out we found out that In order to fit a 20v rr air box you need to change the inner wing as its different to the mb .

    So what did toms brother do cut it out and make his own with mk1 ford focus wheel liners .





    The old engine
