My surf has suffered 20 years of salty roads. The bodywork is fine. The chassis is solid but there is surface rust everywhere. I have a friend who restores cars who will charge me mates rates to restore it. I plan to have the suspension stripped off and then the underneath hydro-blasted before spraying with Yacht Primer, then stonechip paint.
1) Most suspension components need replacing. Have I missed anything obvious off this list?
2) Karma Supra - can I talk to you about your rear axle casing please?
3) Are uprated anti-roll bars available?
4) Do the wishbone arms come with bushes already fitted?
Shopping list - Gen 3, 3.0td auto.
