The way she sits today

Took a picture of this the other day, this is how the Cortina sits. On 4 jackstands and no suspension in the front, I kinda like this photo. Side View

Blew apart the front suspension to get it all rebushed. The strut assembly just looked completely tattered, so everything was blown apart here and cleaned..

Ground down the struts, cleaned up the back plates, installed new ball joints...

A shot of it cleaned..somewhat..

Everything was then painted in gloss black (ran out of satin black)

When rebushing the drag link..what was interesting was taking out these metal sleeves so the poly bushes would fit...but probably never being changed since 1965...taking them out took a bit of heat...

Melting the rubber away...

Rebushed, with new hardware and installed back in the car. Noticed the tie rod ends were in need of replacement, so that's (another) thing I'll need to be ordering soon.
