    Clean looking setup. How hard was it to pull of that front radiator support? Isn't that riveted on?

    car is original color. could use a refresh paint job though.

    the suspension is all qa1 stuff.

    the radiator support is really quite easy. it took about 3 hrs taking my time. lots of spot welds. i just used a drill bit the same size, center punched it and drilled slowly. i drilled some all the way thru for line up of the new one (make it easier).

    not sure what rear springs are. it was converted to coil over though, ill have to look.

    will be working on it this weekend. i ordered a bunch of stuff for it that will be here next week.

    not going to put anyone down. but i am doing it different and better than they did. there was alot of melted wiring and a couple of overheated relays (fan and pump), core support was bent pretty bad. needs some work but i plan on having it driveable by june.
