Ferrario Progress (Page 44/51)

I wanted to thank Cliff for moving my thread to the construction zone. Had a bit of a setback last night. Taking the left-front apart, I discovered the previous owner replaced suspension components on one side and not the other. The left-front is pretty much kaplinkaplook. So I have to replace the upper and lower balljoints, sway bar end links and shocks. It'll take a bit to gather everything to put it all back together. I only hope I don't also have to replace the bushings.

Wade,
I have a set of front sway bar end links with poly bushings, still in the package.
They're yours for free.
All you need to do is pick them up.

Just a bump. But I should start back to work on it next week. Waiting on suspension parts for the moment.

Suspension pieces are in. A big thanks to Rodney. Should have some time this weekend to rebuild the front end and get it back on the ground.

Got the control arms at a shop having the old ball joints and bushings pressed out and the new ones in. Should have them all back by the weekend to be able to put everything back together. Also found out that Ferrario had a wee fender bender during it's previous life. There's a slight tweak on the left-front. I'm checking it out to make sure it's just a tweak.

Got the front suspension almost together tonight. Then I discovered I didn't have any grease for my grease gun. It might go back on the ground tomorrow. Still much work to be done.

He needs your prayers - his father is very ill.

Without Richard's (Whadeduck) help I couldn't get my car finished. I can't thank him enough.

Thanks,
Paul
