What car were you in?

While at my last trip to trade school I decided the ball joints and tie rods needed replacing.
So on the hoist and pulled it down.
Everything came together perfectly except the upper ball joint on the right side.

Other then that no more clunks.
Ordered some bushes for the front and was told they would have been there the following morning. Still waiting ffs so tomorrow I gotta drive to mentone to pick them up.
Ah well. She will love the treatment :)

Awesome mate! That interior is nice too.

Any chance of sound video and some pics of the exhaust? I'm really thinking about a diff dumped set up now. Is it much louder than with a tail pipe? What did you do to hang the tip? Where does the passenger side pipe hang from?

Sorry for all the questions mate. :?
