Wheel bearings and other such stuff

So some updated photos,

Different angle

Not all this work was done this week, the steering rack, wishbones, sway bar were all done last week. This week the uprights were attached, brake lines fitted. new wheel bearing fitted to the front. Found out i had a set of the kits that had the absolutely rubbish grease seals in them, the metal casing is too big and the felt is about 12mm wide, if you try and fit them nothing lines up at all. I removed the casing and reused the old one. took the felt out and cut them to about 1/2 thickness fitted them and they all look ok. I got them from Rimmer Bros, so I'll have to drop them a line tomorrow to see what they have to say.

Fitted in the diff, put the read shocks and vertical links in to visualise where i needed to run the brake lines. The two tone paint job is due to using two pots of paint, the first (the lighter one) was the one i managed to spill half of.

I looked at the rear axles but i ran out of time to actually start the rebuild, and i'm kind of nervous about doing them so they're off to the shop with the shocks and springs to be rebuilt.

I'm about a weekends work from starting to put the body back on. exciting. Unfortunately it looks like i wont be able to actually do that until the first weekend in Nov. I'm working next weekend then off to the states for a little over a week (25th Oct - 4th Nov) so that means at best i'll be able to get up there next around the 7th of November. Bummer
