Since spraying the engine bay/torque tube area and the rear wheel wells at the beginning of this month, I have been able to do some of my favorite type of work… installs. First thing on the list was to get the rear suspension back on the car:
This is a temporary install. The car came to me with 30mm rear torsion bars, Bilsteins, a Weltmeister sway bar, and worn out rubber bushings. I have already had it, meaning the stub axles, drive hubs, etc., all apart once to get rid of the long wheel studs and build up the parking brake parts. I am regretting not putting in new wheel bearings, but now that I have a press, I suspect it will all come apart again (off the car). For now I can at least roll it around if needed. The initial setup for the rear susp. will include the 30mm t-bars, PolyBronze bushings, the Bilsteins, adjustable SWB spring plates, and the sway bar.
Next up was to get the harness back in the car:
Felt real good to get that done! I didn’t button up the front portion yet, but everything from the area behind the pedal cluster back is where it is supposed to be.
