glad i could return the favour for once. Your detailed notes have helped so many of us!! Your suspension arms, bushings and springs are looking great! Unfortunately i'm not back on the road, so i can not share how the car drives with the bilstein shocks, uprated Delta springs and SuperPro bushing AND the new 2.2L engine.
but i can tell you for sure it will be a brand new car since my old bushings and shells had so severely rusted to the frame and suspension arms that the right front did hardly do anything. I had a classic car specialist who tried almost half a day getting my old bushings out of the front suspension/subframe!! the upper arms bushings he had to drill, heat, drill again, heat more....still didn't want to come out. Finally he managed... He said after 30 years working on classic cars he had never experienced something like this....
I recently resprayed the engine compartment (blue) and with the sides towards the tunnel in black. The floor pans i had also sanded back to bare metal and now they have been painted in POR 15 and it awaits a coating of chassic coat black (POR ).
I'm now waiting for the engine to arrive...
happy motoring
