I'd clean the old ones up and put new bushings and ball joints on them.

OR, upgrade to an MM k-member, control arms and coilovers.

Was a Lincoln wire feed mig, 120 volt with gas and guy that was not afraid to grind off welds if they were not up to his "standard."

Next up, the 5lug swap and suspension upgrades!

The welding is just too good not to compliment. You can tell when somebody knows what theyre doing especially when it comes out looking like that.
I'm so tired of seeing crap weld pics. It was good to see that there are still people that can make "art" like that.

You need proof? Just ask @a91what I'm sure steve was amazed at my collection of junk, er stuff. A ten minute fix takes an hour just to find the tool to do it.

My In-Law's place is like this and because of it I can't have a car magazine for more than two days before my wife throws it away because "I'm hoarding like her father"
