It actually looks a lot like the real car - I remember lugging a front beam for my campervan across a field many years ago, and being glad I did when the one on the van broke!
The tricky bit of the job here is working out what goes where. There aren't that many parts, but they are handed. The question is, when something is marked "left upper", does it mean left sitting in the car, or from the front?
After a bit of puzzling over the diagrams, which impressively show some very odd-shaped parts in perspective, I managed to get it all together. Logically, the curved projections on the arms should hit the round bit in the middle, but making that happen took a while, and was the point where I needed three hands to juggle the pieces!
One mystery, how long does it take for the thread locker to work? I managed to fit the dampers the wrong way up initially, or the right way as the instructions tell you, but was able to take things apart within a few minutes.

I used to build and fly model helicopters in the 90's. All the nuts needed threadlocker. The stuff worried me at first as it seemed to do nothing after a couple of hours apart from change to a jelly like consistency. Then I found that it set pretty hard after 24 hours, doing it's job. You have probably discovered this by now though (LOL!).
Not yet Mike. I'm sure that is a delight to come!
