Default something actually went right

didnt think id ever pull this one off, but 100% complete disassembly of the passenger side front suspension. and i got lighting hung in the garage, and cleaned up all the tools.

only took me about 6-7hrs, and nothing went wrong. no busted knuckles and no blood either. things like this never happen to me.




oh, and i rolled the car out of the garage and turned it around. the driver side suspension is all new and everything held together and worked well.

Sounds like you had a pretty good day with it all. Now comes the fun part of making it all purty again. Have fun with it. Are you painting or powder coating?

It doesn't count as a "win" if there was no blood or cursing.
