I have decided to install the suspension and and brakes first. I thought it would be useful to have points to run the pipes too. I chose Wilwood 4 pot calipers with vented and drilled discs as they appear to have a good reputation over here. The ones I received had no installation instructions, just a warning that basically means the installation is my own responsibility...still, instructions would have been nice, especially torque settings for the bolts.

     Front upper and lower wishbones fitted.          The brakes during assembly.

Poly bushes were used extensively on all suspension pivot points.

The front Shocks are Koni adjustable. The rear shocks are KYB GR2. I will probably change these to Spax adjustable after reading the useful tips on the TR Register forums.

On to the suspension. Springs were fitted using a home made spring compressor (another tip from the TR forums).

The hubs, linkage and calipers were then assembled....I used new nuts and bolts everywhere. I also fitted the rear shock kits which went on very nicely.

Poly bushes were used on the torsion bar connectors.
