BillyTahir:
How much where the new bolts and nuts from tps for subframe and control arms etc?
Good progress so far, im starting mine next week
Clarkj93:
Just for info... I had my subframe and control arms professionally Removed, sent off for sand blasting, powder coated and fitted with new super pro bushes provided by me for about £1300, that does include 1 new control arm as one was unrepairable. Worth doing yourself it you have the resources but otherwise expect that kind of pride.

From memory I didn’t have much change from £200 might have ended up a bit more as I forgot a few of the main ones!
Good luck! It wasn’t that bad a job.

I Haven’t managed to do much the last wee while, but I’m determined to get it on the road by the end of Summer.. just stripped the door skins and everything else I could for painting. About 1/10 of the way through sanding and preping the panels for paint.
D2TPP:
After a lot of sanding, filling, sanding, cleaning, cleaning and cleaning.. I finally got some paint on the car! It was my first time painting a car, but I’m over the moon at how well it’s turned out. I’m looking forward to painting my next couple of projects now!
I need to finish cleaning all the plastic and restoring the headlights before putting it all back together, but won’t be long until I get the car back on the road :driver:
