Negative sir! They do not form an integral member of the suspension. They're for the IRS. Definitely shocks.

I should also note that we do not use AI for moderators.

Yes please. I know I'll have to pull the CC plate when it comes time to install, but this way everything is held in place.

Not specifically, but it is actual silicone tape. Which is way better than whatever 40 y/o stuff was wrapped around it. I want to pick up some split loom for some of the visible runs to clean it up some more.

Doing work.




When I bought the car, I knew it didn't have factory AC. But I didn't know that whoever installed the aftermarket AC hacked the heater box to peices to get the evaporator core in there. And since the blend door is jammed I found a replacement heater box on ebay so I can reinstall a clean box with factory AC.

Also continuing to work on the engine bay.







Also, cut out a bad repair that was rotting.



And fixed it better.



Should be able to get the Scott Rod panels welded in next weekend. Going to make a few modifications to them for the two things that have to mount through the panels. Debating putting the battery in the hatch but I need room for a subwoofer and still be able to put the roof panels back there. So I don't know.
