What do you guys think? Good enough to get the car to the alignment shop?

Well, things did not go as well as I was hoping. I thought the axles would go in with the trailing arm on. No! One must either have the trailing arm off or the exhaust system off. My exhaust doesn't leak, so I am going to leave it alone.
Also decided that while the axles are off, since they are somewhat a pain to remove and install, I might as well service the CV's. The rubber boots are looking old and cracked so I ordered new ones. Now to clean and service the CV's. One axle done and ready for new grease and boots. I plan on sandblasting the axle and paint it before reassembly. I was surprised at how easy the cv went back together. I did review the proper way to get the balls in before trying and it worked very well. I am beginning to see why the designers made the trunks on 914's so large - they make a great storage place for parts! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) At this rate, I will have this car ready for spring. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The trailing arm installed and greased moved up and down by hand easily prior to hooking up the shock. That Eric sure does nice work!
