it was my late night at work so I just got home and I'm not working on it tonight, the good news is, tomorrow is my day off, so hopefully I can find some time to do something on it.

well, I had a busy day off today so I only managed to get everything that's going back in painted but I did get the diff itself bolted back in.
Here it is right before I threw it back in, all nice and clean and painted.

That looks beauty-muss. Anyone with wrenching experience will give you accolades at shows when they kneel down to see all of that under the car.
THEN... it will make all of this effort more satisfying, if not already.
Great job!

ok, it's going to be really nice tomorrow and Saturday and I don't want to miss any more driving days so I took a few hours tonight to put it back together. I forgot to paint some of the spring hardware 
but I'll do it next time. I painted the tire tub but left it out in case I decide to pull the tank down next time it rains.
there's so much more I have to clean up undr there and paint. Time to pull the body
(just kidding)

Bad news, I put the car up on the alignment rack on Saturday after work. The rear toe on both sides is way out (i just aligned the rear toe a year ago). closer inspection shows that my trailing arm bushings are blown out. I should have known, they are the only original bushings left in the car.
Looks like I'll be doing another project soon

I'm working on it. I had 2 cracks in the plastic, one on each side near the very top slat where the plastic is really thin. anyways, I got some really good 2 part plastic repair from my body shop Saturday and I fixed the cracks last night. It came out really good. I also have make and glue on the two tabs that slide under the trim in the front, mine are broken off also. Then I just need some really good double sided tape
