the control arm bolts can be a PITA. do yourself a favor. do the lower controlling arm bolts first. and still be prepared the beat them out of there. SOAK them in PB blaster. i can almost bet yours will be the same as mine were and the selve rusted to the bolt. ( heat helps )

Wow!!! That looks a million times better... U are making great progress bro...Keep up the good work.:nice:


I can see that Mass is pretty rough on cars, yours is a clean example though....

Thanxs man i been bustin my ass on my back..Almost done..yeah mass is pretty bad..i dont drive it in the winter...im doin it just to clean it up and make it look good...plus it gives me something to do.
 
I was gonn say....don't lay on the bare ground. I usually lay a double peice of carboard and a nice blanket. Once, I did an H-pipe on my back and the bare cement....ah man...the next day my shoulder blades were sore as all hell.
 
Im going to drop the rearend off at my mechanic tonight..just an update and a few pics
