okay be warned i haven´t finished yet hopefully that will happen next weekend but that depends on if my welder is available
so today i started taking things apart and getting things ready to do the cutting and welding
first things first remove the spring need a spring compressor umm haven´t got one handy oh well how about this
i´m not at all dodgy
then i looked at the perch and the body and thought if i lift the body up it should make the job alot easier
i just had to work out how to lift it up a little away from the chassis that towball will do it
redneck bodylift don´t worry it is only temporary
and see now heaps of room to get a grinder and welder in there
and here is the bit that will be going in to replace it
so hopefully next weekend i will have more to report
so wopass what are you up to next weekend
the mudcedes spring perches finally

i decided to cut one of the old ones up and see what it looked like inside
not the best
woohoo so it is all good and back on it´s own wheels again
