Default made a turn
ok I am at a turning point, I am no longer taking it apart, I have started to put parts back on. started with the upper control arm with poly bushings and new ball joint. hope to have the front suspension back on by the end of the weekend. the cleaning and painting takes a while, but it looks new when it is finished.

i know they feeling. I finally reached the end of the taking off/apart, got past some of the cleaning and painting, and now are at reassembly. SUCH a good feeling. after hanging the upper control arms back on, i stopped and took a break. I felt it was deserved. CONGRATS!

I know the feeling, but I hate to take a break when it is moving along nicely. I allways seem to work harder when a project first gets started.
