The blasting and powder coating was only £80 for everything. High level guess for all bolts, brackets, ball joints, track rod ends, top mount bearings, Powerflec top mounts etc - £500 (didn’t buy any other bushes as car already poly bushed and all in good nick). Shock refurb - £1100 Paint, rust...

Front all back together - pretty happy with that. Apart from the upper steering rack bolts was very straight fwd. particularly surprised how easy it was to bleed brakes after it sitting for over a week with no calipers on.

In process of refreshing front end/underside of car. Was in pretty good nick and didn’t really “need” anything, but decided if dampers going to be refreshed I might as well do the full front end and ensure everything 100%. - Subframe, wishbones and all associated bits sand blasted and powder...

Just got my dampers back from BG and they actually provided a set of gaiters to suit. Not cheap (~£40 each), but seem to fit well and work with the standard bump stops.

Anyone found any good equivalents?

Any suggestions for sourcing new bumps stops and dust covers for front SACHS? Cheers
