6/30/14 update--GETTING CLOSE--Bout time I started this


Recommended Posts

 

Also, why no 6 bolt LSD upgrade? You're doing all this work for a 4 bolt rear?

I honestly was only going to install my new springs and struts that I had kicking around for years----then one thing led to another and BLAMMO----I did it all myself and get the material for nothing from my work so I actually do not have much money in it other than bushings and bearings and oil seals.If I had the extra cash I would have done it but the car will never see more than 350whp so the 4bolt should hold up and if it breaks and i'm forced to replace I would upgrade at that time---

well I was ready to install my parts this weekend then decided to pull my frame crossmember to replace the rubber mounts and clean it up and spray----that will leave only the floorpans to sand and paint----I will do that this winter----http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l587/dmndstar87/DSC01331_zpsb4eba43a.jpg
