Ball joints

For some reason, the rubber boots for the ball joints, track rods ends and drag links had all perished even though the car has been sat in the garage since the start of the build. Rather than buy new joints, I found some replacement rubber boots which were delivered over the weekend so the evenings this week has been spent replacing the old boots with the new ones. This meant jacking the front up again and removing the uprights to get the joints off. At the same time, I took the opportunity to paint the uprights again, this time with POR15 as the sprayed on hammerite was showing signs of rust coming through. I should get round to putting it all back together again over the weekend and the plan is to fit the cycle wing brackets at the same time so I can start to work on these and get the front wings on.
