Another update on the Z.
Front end is just about done! New lower ball joints, lower control arm bushings, idler arm, pitman arm, offset shafts, and some hardware were all replaced. The original 2 piece rotors were being cut as I was leaving (the one completed looked great) and new wheel bearings (inner and outer) were being inspected. The oil pan was hot tanked and the dents removed - slug too(!) and the gasket replaced. The flywheel was about to be cut, and the new Ram clutch will be installed shortly too. Delco front shocks should be in today...
New bushings are pressed in the new rear leaf springs along with new hardware... and then some Uncle Sam Scardino Traction Action Bars will be installed, with new rear KYB shocks. The diff and trans are the last items to be gone through and then we're smooth sailing. Waiting on some new rubber and still toying with the exhaust system swap. Enough jabber now onto the photos...
