Thanks! You ain't lieing either. I'm glad I'm finally past that point. IMO it was the worst part of the project so far. I was supposed to pick the car up on Friday, but he called and told me while he was clearing the nose he got some over spray in the engine bay and had to reshoot it. He called me yesterday at about 4PM and asked if I wanted to pick it up and I couldn't because I had a load of dirt and a pallet of sod on the trailer. I will be meeting him at the shop later today to pick it up. More pictures then.

I worked on the car a litttle. I put in the running horse. Woo Hooo!

I removed all of the front suspension including the k-member.

The springs popped out very easily use the method I was told in the other thread I made asking how to do it.

Here it is with everything removed.

Here's the old stuff. The struts look like the are original an they are shot.

I will hopefully be installing the new stuff tomorrow.

Well I bolted the K-member in tonight. It looks good. I followed the instructions on Maximum Motorsports website to square it up. I'm very dissapointed with this PA Racing k-member. There is like no adjustment. I might be slightly off, but by my measurements I'm off by 1/2" on the front to back measurement. I pulled it back out and will be calling them in the AM. Here's it bolted it.
