Default New radiator support

What started out as a radiator support swap has become, well, I figured while I was in there....



... I might as well freshen up the front suspension!

One side out, one to go.

That might-as-well-itis can get pretty bad at times!

Same thing happened to me. A leaky old radiator resulted in a complete front and rear suspension rebuild, and a new radiator support and radiator. I'm still putting it all back together.

Tack on a new power steering control valve and slave cylinder! Might as well replace those while they're looking me right in the face! I'd love to get through a season where I didn't spend $1,000 on this car.

Passenger side almost done. Driver's side still to go.
