Just a lil update. Well, there is no more in regards to rear suspension and brakes, it's bare back there except for the exhaust and fuel tank. Just ordered a few things, will be here Monday more then likely. Ordered new fuel tank straps and the tubular trailing arms to match the lateral arms.
Waiting to hear back on the GXP rear calipers, and found a great local hardware store that has flange bolts/nuts in larger metric sizes. Here are a few pics in the meantime, at this point I'm painting/detailing more than anything else... Still have to drill out and retap the one trailing arm bracket bolt that broke.
Here ya go, look ma, no suspension, no brakes.
Here's a blurry picture of the lateral arms painted, just going with a hammered silver look.
This is just showing the new GXP drilled rear rotors, no clue what kind of paint/primer/coating is on it, but it doesn't come off with carb cleaner. Also,
the new rear hubs, along with spindles and backing plates media blasted and painted.
And finally, this is a pretty good example of what the entire suspension looked like while taking it apart. It's working on these that I wish I was Arizona, California, or wherever they didn't have snow.
That's it for now, will probably post some more next week, should get the fuel tank straps and center support together next Monday night.
Figure my biggest hurdles are going to the e-brake setup and brake lines. Not sure where to locate a pocket friendly flare kit
for the bubble style brake lines.
