I have had a set of front lowering springs sitting around in my garage for over a year now along with various replacement parts, and several months ago picked up a complete set of front and rear shocks. Decided it was finally about time to at least begin the project. With a whole week of […]

Haven’t really worked on the car at all over the last few months, however, we had a club tech day this weekend and I was able to get some pictures of the radiator fully reinstalled when the car was up on a lift. I had painted all the brackets that were rusty and deteriorating, touched […]

In the rear I have removed the parking brake, rear calipers, and […]
