in prep for the new bushings i found it easier to just pull the whole thing than fight the old bushings while removing the a-arms. more on what i found later.

Does it not rain where you are? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) It rains here, and my car was quite a bit worse two years ago...

Can we get some closeups of the jackstands?

this car lived in sacramento prior to purchase. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) . yours must have lived closer to the beach miles (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) . a few corner pictures.

Beach! Yes! I hate the beach.

Look, anytime you need a place to work on my car.. 4 year minimum active, and then... well, email me if you'd like more details... but it includes no traveling to exotic places, and daily rations of Purina People Chow...

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chowtime.gif)

I dunno Kev, sounds like a good offer. I'd take it.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif)

Looks like a landslide.

Actually, just ship me your car, and I'll ship you mine, kind of even it out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

if i pulled my rubber seal out, i think the metal track would come with it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) kind of neat, how without the rubber your looks all neat and clean. did the car come that way? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)

i am convinced they built mine out of this interesting crumbly material, kind of a brick color. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) doesn't hold up very well. i think yours is a better idea. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

i am really looking forward to seeing your work in person. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)

the rust demon gets underneath the seal adhesive and wrecks havok. i was lucky and only minor surface slab areas of the chanel came off when the seal was pulled. there was heavy, hard to remove primer like stuff in the corners. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) . weld spatter was everywhere. they never bothered to clean it up at the factory. me either (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif) . i like to save the provenance (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) . we are officially in a drought. no snow in the mountains to speak of and the dryest winter i can ever remember. washington is going to burn up this summer. everyone's going to pay through the nose for power and there will be irrigation issues with regards to new rules about water flow to maintain salmon habitat and spawnning. back on topic now.

just the little ray of sunshine this morning, aren't we?

you are right, though. it isn't just the dry we will worry about. power, irrigation, salmon. at least all the time i would have spent mowing my lush, green lawn i can instead work on my car! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) every cloud has a silver lining, right?
