caps and its as good as new. £35 worth of parts, bit of silver and black paint and around 3-4 hours work. well worth it.
can recommend these guys if your thinking of doing something similar.
did a similar thing with mine, was in pretty good nick so only changed the bushes out.
very satisfying job. won't know if it works until i get the rest of the car built up to stick it in! fingers crossed!
