any way on with the show,yesterday painted a few parts and now i get to assemble them,so heres a few shots of the lower arms beening assembled..........

here we have the lower arm,steering arm,new ball joint,new bolts etc..........

























still waiting on a few small bits and pieces but generaly thats the lower arms all assembled ,they look pretty good,and this time they have been assembled correctly!!!!!!!!!!!
after the removal and discovering the dodgy work that held the steering and suspention together ,i had to make sure that is wasnt put back together that way!!!!!
so every thing has been tightened to the correct torque settings and the correct split pins used,NOT A PIECE OF WIRE OR TWIST TIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY?






......Have I not seen this thread earlier? This is awesome. Wish I had that kind of TIME and ENERGY!
I saw the new paint cups you are using, the 3M I use them too! Kind of a pain in the butt but they are nice in some situations. The upside down thing is nice too(no spill). How long have you been painting? Your work looks very nice.

Keep it up!

I ve been painting for about 23 yrs now. here is a sample of my work. The ball itself is 6 feet in diameter. if you look close you can see a mans head in the lower left.

wicked!!! id love to get into more custom painting and creating,but im sort of stuck with the hole car thing at the moment working in a smash repair can get rather repeditive ya know,

Repetative... let me tell you. I have been painting these damn signs for a looong time. Its getting old too. We dont do much custom work like that any more. That pic was probably about eight years ago. Its a digital picture of a Photo stapled to my shop wall. I didnt have digi cam back then. :)

hey there evilbetty

you arnt situated on rooks road (mitcham) by any chance?

I saw that(donor) ute or one very similar at a work shop there, a little while back

Cheers
