#59 Trailing Arm Bush

Image
 New bush fitted in the correct orientation.   This was the side that RO Performance damaged and I had to weld up.

#58 Rear Beam

Image
 Again the muppets have struck again. Who uses hacksaws to replace rubber bushes? Predictably I've had to remove paint that was applied over rust. Rob told me they only do one standard of paint - he didn't say that their standard was expensive and crap.

#57 Painting trailing arms

Image
I have had to sand back the crap powder coating done by RO and repaint with chassis black.  It's too cold to lie on the garage floor doing welding this week!

#56 Another Victim of RO Performance

Image
  Sums up my experience perfectly.  No progress this week as I have had other jobs to do. Back on with the boot floor welding next week. 🙂

#55 Nice to see that other people see how bad this 'restoration' was.

#54 Trailing Arm Repair

Image
 Groove in arm now welded up. And safe. Ready for another set of new bushes to replace the buggered ones!
