Busy Weekend. Over the past few months i have been collecting different stuff. Upper & Lower Door Seals, Inner & Outer Tie Rod Ends w/Sleeves, Upper & Lower Ball Joints, Rotors w/Bearings and Seals, Shocks and 1.5" Lowering Springs. While doing the Door Seals i decided to wet sand the Jambs and re-shoot them. I think it all came very well!

Had to do it in 2 post

I had a couple weeks ago did my Lowering Springs on all 4 corners and while i was there did the usuaul replacements on all the front end parts. Just got back from vacation and got the alignment done and the exhaust nicely tucked.

What position was that flat one, bottom row 4th from the left?

I believe that one was on the passenger side, #3. The one at about the half way point from front to rear.

How hard was it to remove the old bolts? any tips you want to share?

Wasn't to hard at all...I did some research and followed this procedure; http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/bodygauges/bushings.html


1. Lifted car off the ground with four jack stands.
2. Removed all the body bushing bolts and loosened the front two bushing.
3. Lifted rear of the car using a wooden piece of 2x4 across the fuel tank. Only need to lift 3-5 inches.
4. Replaced rear bushing and installed the GNX ones. Lowered rear of the car.
5. Lifted right side again using the piece of 2x4, placed all the bushings and lowered right side.
6. Repeat for the other side.
7. Insert all new bolts hand tight.
8. Torqued to 50'lbs.
9. Drive a few time get some miles on to settle out and re-torque

Did all your bolts come out easy? or did you spray them with something before removal?

My biggest fear was breaking a bolt.

So...I did use a rust penetration/lube spray and soaked all the bolts for a few days by spraying every day. I also used an electric impacted driver, only because I didn't have access to my air tools, this helps break the rust free.

Last week i installed a Kirbanperformance H4 headlight upgrade plug and play wiring harness and H4 headlight housings and bulbs.

I bought the H4 headlight housings with glass lens and 100w bulbs off ebay dirt cheap. But i had to spend some time getting the deflectors adjusted the way i wanted them and secured in place. They look really nice and very bright. These H4 headlights are advertised to be 150% brighter than the stock sealed beam headlights and i don't doubt them one bit.

Here is a link to the wiring harness.

Took it out and drove it for an hour this morning. I needed a speed fix from driving my runabout that has a whopping 98 hp and can't get out of it's own way but sure is easy on gas.
