Resurrecting a 144k FD by Fd3BOOST

I rebuilt the rack today,. Replaced the boots, mounts, bushings, and tie rods. Re-greased everything else.

Cleaned up and put the headlight assembly back on also. Thought about mounting up the sakebomb lights but think might be best to hold off until I have the bumper back on for good.

Checked to see if the factory fog lamps would got with PFS bumper. Looks like there shouldn't be any problems there.

Keeping the engine. I did not compression test it but it was a fresh rebuild when I bought it according to the original owner. It seemed to pull fine when I drove it so I have no reason to tear into the engine. I'm still undecided as to doing full non-seqential again or sticking with the rats nest. I will in either event strip it down to the block and go through all the little odds and ends. Replace the fuel pulsation dampener, check valves, vacuum lines etc.. Get it looking nice and all before dropping it back in.
