Well done Chris!

Metal work is still not quite finished, but it gets boring doing the same thing all the time, so I blasted and painted/plated all the suspension and steering components.
I used new wheel bearings front and rear, the rear sets are very expensive for SWB.
New Koni adjustable shocks and strut inserts, Elephant racing adjustable spring plates and rubber bushes and I used titanium spherical inner bearings for the trailing arms from Chris Flavel in the UK.
Front brakes are the Brembo type, rebuilt with replated hardware.

I have the same small Brembo front callipers Chris. They never cease to amaze me how much better they are than my stock ones. And they bolt straight on! +1 on the Elephant Racing bushings. I have no suspension noise at all with them. When do think you will be done?

Looking seriously good Chris!

Some progress.
I couldnt get the original LH rear bumper to fit the way I wanted it to so I bought a new one and still ended up having to make adjustment to it (Repro part)

It is definitely true that blue colours are hard to show accurately in photos, here are a couple that almost look Ossi instead of Oslo

Nice work.
That bumperette looks to be fitting perfectly!
