Front End almost done.

Been working on the car on and off for the last couple of weeks, and since I finally received my base completion kit I was able to finish most of the front end setup.  Installed the front coil over shocks and 500lb springs, and the front lower control arms.




When hooking up the steering rack it is obvious that it is about 3 inches too long (story of my life).!

I had previously intalled tie rod extensions as per the manual so now I will spend about 3 hours removing them and that should fix everything.  More boxes are arriving all the time from various places and now I have the new HO fuel pump and mount, the kit to mount the battery under the hood rather than the trunk, and most of the parts need for the rear end.

New HO Fuel pump and mount.

Still waiting for the rear control arms to arrive and the kit that lets you mount the firewall forward about 2" which seems to be the way to go according to all the people I have talked to .

Looks like a dull rainy weekend so I will hopefully make some more progress int he next 48 hrs.
