too late.. all mine.. after i look at mine this weekend at least

 

My bushings came in today. They look pretty nice...then again, anything looks better than the rotting remnants of what were the original bushings on the car. :)

It's taken me longer to post an update than it probably should have, but this car has turned into more of a project than it was represented when I bought it.

 

To date the following has been done to it:

Majority of bushing replaced

SS brake lines and brake system flush

Cooling system flush

New clutch and flywheel

Short Shifter

Power Steering Flush

New front speakers to replace blown factory speakers

New Battery

 

 

Still needs to be done:

Replace seal around windshield to fix leak

Water leak in trunk needs to be resolved

Replace battery tray and brace that is almost crumbling from rot

New suspension...current suspension is pretty much shot

New Exhaust...current exhaust from where the header meets the cat is pretty much a solid rustcycle.

Full tune-up....gas mileage and power are both way down from where they should be

Brake job...front and rear calipers will probably have to be rebuilt at the same time

 

On a positive note, with the exception of a few small areas of surface rust in the engine bay on body, the rust is pretty much contained to the bolt-on components but the unibody and underside are pretty clean.
