Holes drilled for grease fittings. Bushings have been spiral cut and honed out to a nice slip fit. Just a firm pressure to install or remove the bushings.

Last one Fuel pump relocation Draft 1.

I will make a final adjustment to the lines once I get a new fuel pump. This facet will do for now though.

What bushings are you using? How did you go about spiral cutting them?
Jaiden
I got the poly bushings from pelican.

I used a dremel with a 1/4" round cutting bit.

I still need to tap for the fittings.

Thanks for the moral support! laugh.gif

Yeah I have bills installed up front now. The interesting thing was when I pulled the old struts out they were red Koni's!!!!!!

I already had the bills and the Koni's are definitly worn.

Aren't the koni's rebuildable?

I can't wait to get it back on the road. I'm still waiting for an A-arm and 1 ball joint and some torsion felts so I can put it all back together.

Then I just have to wait for my calipers and rotors to get it on the road.

I'll post up more picks when that happens!
Spring is getting near I wanna get this car on the road!
