I just hope it works now, I added new upper balls joints, stripped and painted the control arms, new springs, saddles, shocks. Also redid the brakes, new calipers, pads, brake line, hoses. I just need to clean up the paint some and touch up a few spots, the rotors and bearings are also new but have some light surface rust from sitting i gotta clean up, I painted the calipers blue since they kept rusting when I would leave them sit bare.

Ya, There was some rust and alot of the old paint under the fender was flaking so I took it off and sanded it all down, primed and painted it, IM also sanding down the insides of the fenders and priming them, i'll leave the outside for the body shop. My next project is stripping, sanding, and painting the rear under carriage and rear end.

Chipguard (i think 3m makes it) looks nice on the bottom side of your fenders. its also good because it keeps any rocks that may get flug by your wheels from staring your fenders.
