Default Whew

After four months, i finally have the P-car back on the ground. I installed the street performance 2 package from ER. While i was in there, I ended up with new drop links, trannie fluids, brake flush, sand blasting of the trailing arms, powder coating of all of the black bits, cad-yellow coating on all of the appropriate bits, new wheel bearings on all corners, new e-brake pads, and a heck of a lot of cleaning. Now, i just have to level out all of the corners, get it aligned, and then hope to heck it was all worth the effort. For sure, this was an ambitious project. I screwed up a few times, but not so bad that i couldn't recover. I ended up justifying an investment in a bendpak mid-rise lift for the project, and can't imagine trying a suspension refresh without it. I'll post a few pics once i have the ride height set up properly. Thanks to all of you who offered advice along the way, esp. Ed!
