Next on the list was new springs and shocks. I had done a lot of reading online and all I had heard was horror stories of trying to get rusted parts to separate... I got super lucky and everything came apart pretty good! Doing suspension by yourself without disconnecting the brakes is heavy work, but slowly but surely I got there in the end. The new springs finally got rid of the dreaded rear end sag that the old girl had. It looks sooo good sitting level again!
The ride has been completely transformed, damn I love this car.
