Thanks for that mate.

I knew about them but i was a bit skeptical with buying things from phils rotary.

Is the window rubber made to fit and you did not have any issues with the mold or are they good quality mold?

Can you post some close up pictures would be greatly appreciated.

[CA-ROLLA]

the rubbers are made to fit, they arr alittle tight but otherwise good, and i wasnt doing now smearing just showed justin some photos of the car, good and bad motherf@$kers

Spent a couple of hours this arvo pulling the control arms, tie rods and sway bar rods out. Its all really old shit and the sleeves wouldn't come off the sway bar rods so I couldn't get them off the sway bar. Going to have to cut them off and my brothers going to machine up some one piece rods with nuts both sides to avoid this problem in the future.

The ball joints are original and so are the control arm bushes. Obviously something that no one ever touches in these cars. Can't complain about the quality of the bushings in the day though....

Dad's going to press out the old control arm and press in the new ones tomorrow. Still waiting for a set of idler arms to come up from Melbourne and still trying to source the sway bar to chassis bushes. Last resort will be getting them out of Singapore which will be a f@$k off kinda wait.

Here's some uneventful pics and some shots of the rear quarter glass seals for harun.

measure the sway bar thickness and take it to your pedders store, they will match it up

 

 

 

edit - the frist pic. sway bar link bushes. nolathane or pedders will have these in stock and prob the same as the ke30/55 link bushes

 

but yea the d bushes (bar to chassis) pedders sell a unverisal fit type with bracket

I've got the "link" bushes but the sleeve that separates the top bushes from the lower ones is completely siezed....

It's been almost 2 weeks so here;s an update.

 

The front end is completely rebushed with new tie rods and ball joints. The sway bar links my brother made turned out sweet. Still waiting on the struts to come back from Southside Suspension so I started on some interior.

Got the rear cards painted with vinyl paint and fitted some JVC 290W 6X9's. Got onto the local upholsterer an he reckons two or three months to upholster my seats so I'm looking elsewhere.

I've made the boot liners (base and sides) with some 3mm MDF and some black boot liner from Clark Rubber. Not finished but looks sweet. I forgot to send the taillight finishers in with the car so they didn't get painted. I hit em with silver and clear. It's different but looks alright. I got the rear bumper fitted with a shit load of fuss but it's on.

Got the diff cleaned up, resealed and painted. New brake cylinders and shoes. Looks the mustard on my hotdog. :happy:

 

Can't remember what else so here's some pics.
