A few more shots of the progress I have been making.
Started setting up the rear suspension only to find 2 of the 4 u-bolts I ordered were the wrong size. I have since pulled the rearend back out of the car also.
I started to rebuild the posi with new carbon fiber clutches and 400# springs. When I pulled the springs out I noticed they were considerably smaller than the original springs. I grabbed the boxes for the clutch pack kit and spring kit and ran the #'s online. I found out Jeg's, who I purchased the parts from, sent me, not only the wrong springs, but the wrong clutches. I now have to pull it all back apart and send them back. I did debur the posi carrier and clean it up real well. I also installed the new 3.73 Motive ring gear.
I halfa$$ sandblasted the original subframe to my car. I welded the seams up on it and began test fitting the ATS coilover brackets. I screwed the threads up on one of the lower arms cleaning out the powder coat. I had to call Speedtech to order the double shear brackets for the lower control arms. I'm waiting on those to arrive. I also found out my Ridetech coilovers hit the bracket, so I have to order new upper spring cups that will clear the brackets.
I pulled a muscle in my neck, so no progress over the holiday weekend. I'm just now started to get full movement out of my neck again. Sucks getting older
