So I have started a refresh of the suspension on my 89 turbo. I have the M030 option so I bought replacement rear adjustable Konis, and I have removed the fronts and delivered to IG Racing (Ian Gardner) for a rebuild. There is approximately 5 weeks for the rebuild as Ian is very busy, which is giving me time to go through the suspension and replace/upgrade 33 year old parts. I have a deadline as I'm booked into Center Gravity at the end of November!
With the front shocks off, I am now going to clean up some components and paint them - springs and top/bottom washers. The rubber stops were totally perished but the top strut mounts look good.

Today I removed the rear anti-roll bar and loosened all the bolts for the front anti-roll bar. I'm going to get both blasted and I will paint them. I will replace the bushes and use new bolts. The front wishbone bushes need replacing so that will be done.
Off to a good start, let's hope it continues...
