Front Suspension

Started the assembly of the front suspension. I'd had the wishbone bushes pressed in at the factory to it was fairly quick to fit the ball joints before attaching to the chassis.





starting to look a bit more car like.

I then un-packed the 'new old-stock' diff that I brought from a hearse servicing company on ebay - it was originally destined for a Scorpio-Ultima hearse!





As the diff is the 7-1/2" size I had to remove the bottom left hand corner of the case to clear the chassis.
