Not the best job removing underseal, the previous owner plastered it everywhere, used a hot air gun like yourself but its a messy job, Rebuilt the front suspension
was in quite good order so only replaced what needed changing, balljoints were ok so only changed the boots & re-greased, top arm bushes & tie rod bushes were replaced with superflex, new shocks & track rod ends
& renewed the pipework, cylinders & shoes for the brakes
