That's lookin real good!
Figuring out the order to bolt all this crap together sucked but, the brake pedal, booster, steering column and all that jazz is finally in the car for good. Though, now I see just how dirty everything has gotten.

I'm not sure if the cuts are worth it but, I guess the illusion of the door feeling has much as the other does. There is still some to cut out and some trimming to do but, that's for tomorrow.

The camber/caster plates came in today so, I had to toss them on to see what they look like. I also tossed on the mock up Strange struts since they didn't fit the stock strut mounts. All I know now is, full droop is what ride height use to be.

Decided to toss the fender and a wheel on, to see what it will look like if, it ever stands up.

Holy shit, I made something! I mean, it's complete crap but, you have to start at crap to make it up to garbage...right?
Got the Flaming River rack in the other day so, that got tossed into the car and, I made the steering shaft. It looks like I need to go to the store and get another set of outer tie rods for this rack. When I de-powered the factory rack, I switched over to all SN95 stuff and this rack, uses Fox based parts. I should have read up a bit more before assuming it would all go together magically.

Put the new outer tie rods on, tightened up all of the suspension for the first time and set it down. I may need to put Fox length control arms on up front, to suck the wheels in a bit more.

So, I took advantage of the semi warm weather and dusted the car off. The water that came off of it, was worse that most rest stop toilet water.
