Quick update, first the good news
Yes we have shocks and springs Unfortunately the tie rods didn't turn up yet, but other than that the front suspension is done.
Which is good news, went down to see Charlie (the mechanic at south foxton motors) who put them together. Which is where the bad news comes in.
what you are looking at is one of the rear axles for the car. the technical term for what you're looking at is fucked. Its repairable, but this is the shot of the one thats already been repaired not that long ago. The needle bearing has basically chewed a groove in the axle shaft(the dull patch in the middle of the photo). So as a result i've ordered new axles :( not something i wanted to have to do. Lucky for me i'm going to the US next week so have organised to pickup a set while im there and save myself a truck load of money on shipping.
Sigh! More delays
