^^^What this guy said. Otherwise it's coming along nicely.

Well, for one thing I would of thought it would be easier to put the LCA on the car
then put the spindle on rather than trying to do it in the grass. Good luck with updates.

the LCA went on so damn easy..


now.. the rear trailing arm removal for that one ****ing bolt held us up for ever..

PB blaster, a Torch, and then a large irish man beating the living **** out of the hub with a hammer and it finally came loose.


Today is passenger side Struts, Trailing arms, and LCA.

ill post better photos today

Joey, why'd you decide to bend the brake shield on the right rear? New mod XD?

Looks good man, should be a dream to drive around....Need to take it to Us-129, and do it some justice.

lol well there is alot less wheel gap then before.. and the springs will take a few days to compress for further drop.
