So those pics make me want to give up work to do a rebuild. It'd have to include learning to weld and paint (two things I have wanted to be able to do for ages). Trouble is, I like work and it has useful pecuniary advantages!

Nice looking job by the way, can't wait to see more progress. Great colour too.

Got the rear arms in place with the new rubbers that took me some time to get them fitted and we had made a wooden marker thing to measure the heights of the springpates :

Looks fantastic!

Slate grey is a great colour, not just because of the Steve McQueen connection.

New shiny parts? I can only dream :)

ok here is a first of the front suspension.
Was quite a challence to put that on on my own.
more pics to come :

one more question, I lost both bolts that need to go in the lower part of the shocks that bolts the schocks to the big ball joint. I went to the porsche dealer and they gave me 2 bolts that are totally treaded while I have the idea that the first part of the bolt needs to be non threaded and the last parts is ( due to the fact that that part goes thru the ball joint ) hope this makes sense here is the bolt I am reffering to :

99.99% sure you have been given wrong item by dealer !! (Bolt)

From memory it's a "wedge" type fitting - pulled into place by nut on threaded portion ... this ties the two pieces together firmly.
Should not be too hard to pick up - but it's a specific part.
