70bowtie Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Replacing the ball joints and cleaning up the front suspension and chassis area. I took apart the front brakes and spindles well everything was really clean just grease on them. The original colour on the backing plates and the gold plating still on the caliper brackets. When I cleaned the spindles they appear to be a blue or green originaly one with a white stripe the other with a red one, anyone know if they where blue or green from the factory. But best of all no rust. Leo
