Now we are rolling

With the painting done, it is time to get this thing rolling again. I started by installing new bushings in the rear springs.

Next some fresh paint. These are not the original springs, they still had the Moss sticker on them, but they were not brand new either, just making them look new again.

Where does all this stuff go? Actually it wasn't too bad putting on the rebound buffers, with a picture to go by.

Here we go, progress. The front cross-member is installed, shocks in place.

 

Done with the right. Lower A arm installed, pressed up on the new spring, just the hub to go. 

 

The rear end going in. The springs are just mounting on the front bolts and I'll wheel it under the car on the dolly, bolt up the springs to the axle, then use the jack to lift the diff and springs up to their mounting points. 

Just like that. Then the parking brake goes on. Just a few brackets and it is good. It actually stopped the wheel spinning on the first pull of the brake handle! 

Next, the steering rack has to go in. Fresh seals and boots, and oil, and clamps and ball joints and... that's it, I think. 

Hubs, wheels and steering wheel on, a slight adjustment to the wheel toe.....

And she is out of the garage for the first time in about 10 months, not too bad.

Back in the garage already! This time centered under the I beam for the engine hoist, yeah this is coming along now!
