    Being buying up the last few weeks and today was patrol day.

    New Springs and shocks (took @MB advice) and rear brake pads. Steering wheel and radio surround was a good score at the local wreckers.

    Old tough dog foam cell did around 150,000 km in 7-8 years and now have no return. Replacing the 25 year steering with one with no rips and I reckon the best score was the radio surround with only 2 little screw holes and nothing else, never seen one without and antenna switch.

    Question on the sway bar links..

    You can see that once I cut the thread to size it won't line up straight to the bar, if I force it, it will have a lot of pressure against it. What am I missing here.

    Can't wait to get this thing back on the road..

    John, did you take the car into their workshop and get them to weigh it, each corner before selecting the springs? Did they fit the springs or you? I had them do the lot to ensure the right 'numbers' went into the spring selector and ensure it was sitting flat after the job. I have dobbo springs and like them and their service. I use the Dandenong workshop.
