Default finished the rear suspension

got the rear suspension done. gr-2 struts and prothane suspensions bushings. the bolts for the lateral arms were gonna cost $14 a peice at fastenal. so went to the junkyard and got the three that i needed in less than an hour, which was crap since the fastest bolt i got out(that was busted)took two hours but oh well. started the front and of course got a messed up bolt. the threads at the beginning are smashed from hitting it with a shorty sledge hammer......and my hand. trying to find a die that is 15mm. so...... just an update.


oh and i got my maddog shifter yesterday. haven't installed it yet since im busy with the suspension.
