I'm impressed you can still get those for such an old girl

If you buy the struts, be careful as i'm sure the the front struts on an FB are taller.

Front dampers are inserts for original struts. All four are Rx2 spec. Springs are 1,5" lower and a bit stiffer. Not sure I want that on our bumpy roads, so will keep original springs as a backup. Anyway, with the steering box tightened up, the car is already SO much better to drive.

In 1972 this was a medium-sized car. Or was it?!?

This shows how America made such ugly cars in the 80's and how Japan stole the market with such pretty cars

Getting those pin stripes right:

Noriaki posing with Stig (or was it the other way around?). This is the authentic Stig, mind you, not any of those Top Gear imposters.   

Noriaki took us out for a mountain hike & in return got his second wash in 3 years! He'll get spoiled at this rate.

Oh no!!!!  Where are the wheels???     

[Eccentric shaft]

Oh, dear! It's worse than missing wheels. The struts are on the loose!

One more step on the way. Now waiting for more parts. All (or most of) the bushes need changing & this is a good opportunity to get it all done in one go. Although, if those 1,5" lowered springs are too hard, I might put the originals back on again.

Videos are lagging behind a bit, but latest NOS find is worth recapturing!
