So much work I love it! Godbless you for taking on a build like this and not letting it go to waste. Much props!

Small update. I got the front coilovers on and was in a bit of a hurry so I didn't take many pictures. I also now have a shop and a lift to work in! The stock end links and front control arms are busted so I'm ordering TRW arms,Fall Line Monoball bushings and Fall Line adjustable end links. I'm currently sway barless

. Hopefully tomorrow the rears will be on.

Still needs adjustment but this is how the fronts came out of the box.

Impressive restoration!! Makes me excited just by looking at it! Good job OP!

Mind if I ask you how you cleaned your valve cover/your engine bay depths? Mine is pretty grimey from the previous owner and I’ve always wanted to clean up the engine bay a little more

I just used some all purpose cleaner and various brushes. Depending how caked the oil is you may want to use a degreaser.

Finally got the coilovers on. Still waiting on the Fall Line front sway bar endlinks and Fall Line mono ball front thrust arm bushings. The car feels semi unstable at high speeds so I think the new thrust arms and bushings will do the trick and tighten everything up again. Right now I have the Ohlins set to factory settings and will mess with them when the car gets corner balanced. Overall, I am happy with them and glad the wheel gap is gone. I might put a 5-8MM spacer in the front.

Also attempted to restore my headlights. Worked ok but nothing too impressive.

What is the difference? Either way I have many more items ahead of tail lights, LCI's will be on someday.
