Put the crossmember in, the top control arms and the passenger side lower.
That's all for now, back to it in a months time

Thanks Blacky, Gazza has put me onto someone as well, I still have to come up and see about the front guard section that I need so will come and catch up when we get back in August.

Two steps forward one step back
Was going over the hr control areas and found one of the pivot holes flogged out f#@k
Does anybody have a lower drivers side HR control arm or is there a way that it can be repaired

Blacky did you get a chance to talk to the metal guru about those patch pieces mate.

hey Greg I've had it twice once way back in 1994 when I was in the states for 9 months and the second time a year or so ago, apparently it is from coming into contact with someone that has the chicken pox virous, if you have had it as a child it doesn't actually leave your body and can be triggered.

Thanks Clay
Pretty sure the uppers have grease nipples and I haven't put them in the bottoms yet as you can see.

Everything ready to go

Owe and they are straight it is just the way they are sitting when I painted them and took the photo

Springs arrived yesterday from Vic, they had been blasted and primed, I gave them a quick coat of paint.

I now have all of the parts for the front suspension, hopefully I can get it all together before the Boss and I head ...

Thanks Blacky.

Clay last big bit on the Reverend is the firewall, dash and plenum replacement, Keith is going to do it for me so I don't stuff it up after all the other work I have done and I want to get the donor bit sorted for him and that bit is the only bad bit on the donor, typical isn't it ...

Thanks Gaz however I have been able to source a pair from a mob in Victoria.
I rang Damien at Warburton Early Holden Parts (he couldn't help :roll: ) he put me onto Chris at Dinkum Autos in Cheltenham Vic, Chris was really helpful and went out of his way to help me get a set of springs really fair ...

Anybody got a set of standard original HR front springs by chance???????

Hey Greg you know what an Expert is? X is an unknown quantity and a spert is a drip under pressure

Mate the bit where the wing of the sub chassis bolts up to the firewall above where the leg fits into the firewall, the bit in the photo you showed that you said just need a bit of sand blast to clean it up, the Reverend's need replacing.

Does that make any sense??????????
