looks similar to what im doing to my car, but mine is the rear floor against the firewall....

Started restoration on the front arms (with sway bar tabs ) that I got off Evel-Bay for $10 (Shipping was $28 )

The heat and twist trick took the bushings off in like 15 seconds each (picked up tanks for may accetiline torch last week)

I could not break loose the ball joint nuts (didn't want to F the arms up so I didn't try real hard yet)

No pictures yet. More to come

Ok, I split the ball joint nuts and just cleaned up the arms.

Pulled Boge inserts out of front struts, cleaned them and torqued in the Bilstiens

Quick coat of paint on A arms and I'll install ball joints.

then drill for grease fittings.

Looking great Will, keep the pics coming!

Ok, here come pictures from yesterday and this morning

I'm tired ~ 8 hours.... under car, out, under car, out.....

Now I just need to install drop-links on swaybar

mount a pair of tires - drop front end on ramps

Then start on back end! Dropping motor and trans.... maybe by next weekend????

Maybe Saturday

yesterday I picked up a 75 2.0L motor - Thanks xsboost90

Today I started pulling it down, I have to get it small enough to get past my car into the back of the garage.

After ~ 1 1/2 hours pulled computer and harness, air injection tubing, injectors, and runners.
