Made use of a couple of spare hours today - engine out, sump & oil pump off. Presuming its seized on the rings as theres no evidence of anything drastically wrong.

Top arm refitted with the polybushes and new balljoint installed.

Also mockfitted the front hub/shocker/lower arm, while waiting for the lower control arm bushes to arrive. Everything seems to fit as it should which is reassuring.

A few hours with a wire wheel and the front end of the chassis is now fully primered/undersealed, all the front suspension items given the same treatment too.

 

Hopefully get the front end rebuilt over weekend and move on to something else.

Still waiting on some bushes to be able to rebuild the front end, so I set off repairing the small hole in the inner rear arch.

10 minutes later and things had escalated:

Managed to make a start and do the first patch today.

The lower control arm bushes arrived from Thailand yesterday, with these fitted I've been able to rebuild one of the front corners, including using a home made spring compressor.
