Rear calipers repainted
New wishbones
New steering arms
New rose jointed track rod ends

Front & Rear arches ground back to bare metal, kurusted and primed
Skirt mounting holes ground back, kurusted, primed and will be filled when I get more sandpaper

I would recommend every member removes the rear bumper to check whats going on, the black in the picture is basically where the rust was creeping up.
Cheers for the comments guys, I hope its worth it in the end, I am absolutely shattered, old spring clamps were a pain in the arse today.
Nice work Alan, it feels good doing jobs like that!
