Way to go Sundance I did the same a couple of months ago. Upper and lower ball joints ,TRE's new SS front mounts, ARB drop links, full front poly bush kit and full front end rust prevention. Plenty more was done while the front end was stripped down and cost a small fortune but now the way she drive's is worth the bloody knuckles and tears and swearing and nights spent working on her. Epic job but well worth doing in the end.

More like "Way to go" to you Sundance. Jeez, that's a shit load of work you've done. I'm never going to take all that on I'm afraid.
Yes, thought about the grinding option. Still might have a go.
Did you grind them from underneath as others have stated? Be better me thinks if I could do it from the top. Did they punch out easily after the top/bottom was removed and was there any damage to the holes?
I'm thinking of drilling down from the top only a short distance and then wacking the top of the rivet off with a chisel??
