Default New struts Front and rear

Just changed the front struts on my 89. Did the rears at Bill'* during the mini-meet. I love being here in Oregon where there is no salt used on the roads. Check out the pics of my car.




The only rust underneath is the original exhaust. I did have a magnaflow cat put in though.

A lot, but i miss my 1/2 inch drive ratchet. Couldn't find it so I had to use my breaker bar for everything. Just got to get an alignment next. Ride is a lot better.

How does the weekend of the 25th of April sound to do that 95 top end?

Alignment done today. 3 of 4 were way off, but one was close. Rides like an LE again.

Wanting to, but not allowed. I can also tell it is hooking up better. It still spins from take off, but not as much. Still need to adjust that modulator and TV cable on the tranny.

Good job Matt and salt free is the way to go

Would be great if she can make it. Wendy enjoyed her time without the kids. I can tell she was really relaxed after that weekend. If PMOM comes down they can run off and do their "girl" thing while we tear apart our cars.

UMfan'* wife has a new baby. They can play with that too if we can talk him into bringing her over from Albany as well.
