OK, well last night was a little interesting. Lets move on to one of those builds/rebuilds where nothing is mm perfect and there is a bit of refurbishment/restoration.
First up I was looking for quick jacks that has some age to then, so it matched the rest of the 30+yo exterior. Came across these with all mounting hardware which will have a quick clean up however will have a nice aged appearance.
Currently working on LCA's, first was cleaning these back to raw before blasting and paint, However the shock mounts (pic is after straightening them) are what I would call too thin 3mm (some will more likely disagree), not straight and a little beaten. So I figured on new 1/4 inch thick mounts which will weld in to replace the current ones. This will also be welded with the correct spacing for shocks and spacers with 1/2 inch bolts.
After this will be to fab upper shock mounts. This pic shows somewhere along the line a few washers were spot welded onto a makeshift bracket. Sure it has stood the test of time, however its time to out the old and in with the new.
And finally, just because guys like pictures more than words, these are my two vision cars. Sure there a little different but this is what I am working towards, and leaning more to the blacked out wheel as well with the raw spinner.
And for Anzac Day, Lest we forget.
