I got that leaked fixed already. For some reason the hose tore by one of the clamps in the rear. As for the suspension, im putting in pbm subframe spacers, spl tie rods, n new camber washers cus the stock ones r all stripped out n the alignment would shift...especially the rear toe.

Car looks good man. Glad your spending time to do the suspension. 20 year old suspensions blow. SPL tie rods are the s***. Is that the lowest it goes?

Yeah Dale I remember your fb about the dent :( Mine popped out pretty well, get behind your interior panels and maybe you can do it with just a flat football or your hands. It's a friggin shame.. I hope it wasn't the same neighbor.
If anyone knows of washers we should use when installing rucas and other rods to keep the arms from shifting in the slotted holes, let me know! I've read that body washers or shims will work? These have to be fairly large. I guess a trip to the hardware store is in ... store. I haven't had this problem but having the washers would help prevent it.
