1 month back from rebuilding the engine. Regardless of the weather, driven it must be!
1000km and counting.

$4900 worth of control arms, bushings and shocks later, the GTS no longer has its original suspension bits.

Well done Rob!
A bad job but the driving after it is very rewarding!

Same procedure as every car! This gearbox will be changed against a GT one.

Was the juice worth the squeeze? I did shocks and springs ~10 years ago but never did all the rubber and I'm wondering if it's worth it, or if it’s just meh… (edit) I'm sure it's better, but is it "OMG, this is the single best thing I've ever done!" better(?)

Not sure yet, the car's still up in the air- Had to drop the exhaust part way in order to get the inner LCA camber bushing bolts out, hoping to get to it tonight.
