Beginning the refurbishment of the front suspension...

 

 

After dropping the crossmember assembly below...

After disassembly, I soaked the parts with Easy-Off and left in the sun for a few hours.  Then a quick blast with a pressure washer and the parts came relatively clean.

All parts have been painted and prepped for reassembly.  I chose to use Prothane poly bushings as they will last the longest.  Since the bushings are red, I decided to paint the coils springs in red.  Certainly not stock, but it adds some contrast to an otherwise all-black suspension.

In the meantime, I had the carbs and distributor rebuilt.  I had the carb work done by a gentleman in Texas and you can locate him on the MG Experience Website.

The distributor was rebuilt by a gentleman in Minnesota and you can contact him via his website: Advanced Distributors
