Default whats new?
well in this project just about everthing. update: I have replaced the calipers and also installed braided stell brake hoses and new wheels and tires. I am waiting on parts to do the steering and rear suspension. the cleaning of parts seems to be the most time consuming part so far.

Damn well worth it, from the looks of things.

Thanks for updating periodically.
