  • IMG 2802 I was semi tempted to get some grey paint and leave it this colour.
  • IMG 2803 But opted for red.
  • IMG 2804 Should look decent when I put the suspension back on.
  • IMG 2805 Made a total mess of the garage floor mind you.
  • IMG 2806 Upper control arm.
  • IMG 2807 Lower. Not sure how I'll get the bushing in. Have to sleep on this one.
  • IMG 2808 Might try a freeze it for longer next time.
  • IMG 2809 Bottom one went in nicely, but the top will be another story.
  • IMG 2810 Red has set up.
  • IMG 2811 2 coats. I had to open the garage up to vent. Had the fan running the whole time.
