Holy crap what a day. She's on the ground now, all suspension pieces on and torqued down. What a bitch that was! The tie rod ends were a monster to get back in and torqued down. Still needs an alignment, but that will come soon. Put the sway bars back on, after a thorough cleaning. Put all the pads in the calipers and set the parking brake adjustment all that is left now is to bleed them. I'll wait till tomorrow to do that. Rebuilt the shifter and bolted it all together. I bought a new HVAC panel from BTDT and swapped the old dingy panel out. It looks 100 times better now. Radio is in, and the tombstone is in place, the plastidip job on it looks better than I'd hoped. Put the instrument cluster and steering wheel back together.

I'll get pics up soon. I'm thinking I will take her for a road test this weekend...

I have a pump if you want to bleed by yourself. In for a ride Saturday morning if she is running!

Did you need a moment to take in the dirt Aaron when you looked down on that?
