Also like the rears, I inverted the guide for a second press, and left the pressure on for a few minutes.

7. Like the rears, the front mounts also have a pre-install angle. So, set the A-arm horizontal.

The mount should be 21 degrees, also "up".

Another little job today, rebuilding the heater control lever. All the parts, random order.

I used some teflon dry lube, and put it all together.

Getting close to having everything ready for installation (not counting the motor and transaxle). The biggest untouched pile is the interior, hiding up on the shelf.

Another short day in my garage. I noticed that one ball end on the rear sway bar is loose.

These are essentially riveted in place. The flange on the back side deformed enough for a sloppy fit.

I used the press to tighten the fit.

The fit is tight again, but I will add a bit of weld to ensure.

Back to body work today. I guess I missed it.

Here are the outer rocker covers, both in very good condition.

One needed just a few tweaks along the edges. The other has a typical crack where the lower edge steps up. (sorry for the fuzzy photo)

Question to idiot PO: why bother with bondo (with no reinforcement) on the inside, and nothing on the outside?

Note to PO, or PO repair shop: This is the proper way to repair cracked sheet metal.

Next piece: rear valance. Also in pretty good shape, no rust or dents.
