[QUOTE="Ackbar00, post: 15443358, member: 22571"] So I found a little time to work on the 69 some. Got all the suspension stuff I wanted to do, except for the sub-frame connectors. Here are the front upper control arms after removal. One of the shocks came apart (Lol). You can also see they are two different brands. [ATTACH=full]697818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]697819[/ATTACH] New lowering spring vs. Old [ATTACH=full]697820[/ATTACH] And, fronts complete. [ATTACH=full]697821[/ATTACH] From here, we move to the rear. First thing I noticed were the rear tires have a bit of dry rot. Also, I like the white overspray. Guess they didn't cover them very well when the car was painted white. [ATTACH=full]697822[/ATTACH] Next, noticed the rear brake soft line was touching a turn down. [ATTACH=full]697823[/ATTACH] Sigh. Get the rear shocks out, and thought they looked funny.... [ATTACH=full]697824[/ATTACH] I then got the rear lowering blocks and new KYB shocks in. [ATTACH=full]697825[/ATTACH] Think the stance looks a lot better now. Just need some 17's or 18's now. [ATTACH=full]697826[/ATTACH] Moving on, I then finally made a bracket to attach the rear seat at the bottom. I couldnt drill a hole, as the 99 seat's went right into the frame. Made this on the quick, should do the job. [ATTACH=full]697827[/ATTACH] Couple shots showing my china grill emblem in black, and all the correct headlight hardware. [ATTACH=full]697828[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]697829[/ATTACH] Next? I scored a 302 and AOD from here locally. Think at this point, I am just going to lift and shift the current 302/C4 setup. Later, assuming all goes well, look into Cams, heads, Etc. [ATTACH=full]697830[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
