Some pictures of my suspension refresh

[rvanderpyl]

First, lets remove the suspension



Hmmm, a bit of rust, better look closer








Oops, got to move the transmission to get the rear trailing arms out, might as well pull the motor as well.

Geeze, my Pelican order is delayed waiting for parts. Well better check for more rust











Hm, not much left here, what do do now, First Order is still in process, and next order is waiting.

UH OH, someone else has started down the slippery slope of "while I'm in here" Good Luck Robert.

OK, lets start cleaning. First we need some tools



Nice pile of shiny parts, and some yet to go.






I hope something gets here soon before I take every nut and bolt apart....

I'm getting flashbacks......me....5 years old...Mom's toaster oven.....bad results.

Nice progress! Should feel like a brand new ride when you're done.

OH god, I know the feeling. I am now 5 weeks and 9K into my cosmetic restore.....why did I do it??? And the words " while I am in there" and "Where do I stop" keep ringing in my head!

Good luck!

The sad thing is I found out a day after I started that our local PCA chapter is having a free autocross on the 14th, no chance to make that now.

Man, I hate it when that happens.

Great thread!

I remember those day! 30 plus thousand later and im glad it over. Good luck Robert!

Wow! Your project looks amazingly similar to the one on the Porsche.com site. Check it out, in the restoration services section of their classic car centre.
