Well this time I actually had some shots of what some of the parts looked like before, I also did the brackets that hold the spoiler on the front bumper but not so interesting.

Before:




After:


Didn't have pics of the before of the jood brackets but here it is anyway.

I am always amazed that I get back every nut and washer I give them ... well so far so good anyway.

Disassembling and reassembling the hood latch was fun but works much better now for sure, need to go buy a rivet gun also !

Hey, isn't your hood strut upside down? I've heard that mounting them that way makes them wear out fast.

Thaddeus

Nice. What did they plate it with?

Chris

Sublimate, crap hope not. My 91 was the same and this car came with them in that direction. Anyone ?

Thaddeus : Gold (or Yellow) Zinc Chromate

Ed Taylor

Yep, Hood and hatch shocks should be mounted with the large end UP.

Chris

Good catch guys, now reversed .. the hatch shocks were OK, nothing like inconsistancy !

Chris....if you don't mind me asking....where'd you find someone to plate those parts, and what did they charge?

Chris

Go to yellow pages, look up plating. They usually have a min lot charge, the place I use it is $50 and that covers a LOT of parts. This time because some of the parts were rusty I also got a strip charge of about $30.

Good job Chris, looks great!

ECU direction is still up in the air...
