So next is to do a bit on the front end, i really want to get some lower springs in there but for now i needed to replace the tie rod ends as the boots had turned to dust but the joint itself is still in great condition, i think after 33 years they could do with a holiday, and while i'm there i replaced the steering boots as well, the originals were not broken just a little perished hence why the rack is in excellent condition but i changed them anyway
it was a little scary to drive this car as the brakes are atrocious, the front disc's were quite warped and the car had a terrible shake when the brakes did eventuality work, combined with the 16 year old Goodyear NCT's on the front made for an exciting ride, so i machined the front disc's and binned the tyres, the rest of the front looks in bad shape but the ball joints are good and everything else works as it should
also it came with the original window card
on to the back end next
