I haven't finished it yet, just got the fronts done last night and started on the rears today (7-30-07). Probably finish most of it by tonight or tomorrow. Still waiting on a few bolts to come in the mail and figuring out how I'm gonna get the parking brake lines out.
Some teaser pics for now -
Open for business!
The rears
Front D. Side
Lotsa wheels
The carnage
Hit a speed bump in the progress, one bolt on the rear pass side didn't wanna come out. It seized itself in and when I tried breaking it loose with the breaker bar I ended up tearing the rubber bushing loose. I called it quits @ 4 cuz I was just getting more pissed off and frustrated with it. Probably gonna end up cutting it out.
More pics -
Rear D, side out for the most part, just have to remove parking brake.
Front D. Side all put back together, minus brake line.
Front Pass Side - mounted rim just to get an idea of how it would look.
Rear Pass side - Bolt the breaker bar is on
New shift knob on the beater ED, broken baseball bat handle. Its like buttah
