a while ago now, but got all the parts together for a spare set of endlink bushings... current set i have on the car works great but since ill be storing the car and redoing some of the rear suspension i wanted spares in case they needed to be swapped quickly.

Where did you get the bushings or did you make them yourself? I could only imagine having that done to my endlinks. Good stuff!

thanks, its a love/hate relationship most days with the car..
few cell phone pics of the engine bay before the winter
removed my useless AC system last night, I turn it on a few times a year to make sure it works since the windows are normally down while I'm driving in the summer.

Did you remove the little condensor behind the glove box too? Does your blower motor still work on the 1, 2 and 3 settings? When I gutted my A/C for some reason my blower doesn't work on any other setting than 4. My blower has just two settings now; off and flat out. haha

that is being removed tonight so ill let you know if the fan still works. I know i had that issue before and i changed out the part that sits in the blower box and it worked fine after.
Cool, thanks for the info, mate. I probably left something disconnected. I'll check it out.
But yeah A/C is overrated. Unless you have leather seats in the summer. I hate leather seats in the summer. heh-heh
What plans do you have for her this winter?

no leather seats here,
plans so far are clean up the interior after removing everything and fix a few soft spots in the floor, clean up under the hood a bit more and some plans for some powder coating of a few things under the hood.. changing ride height so i can get in and out of my own yard easier, tired of having to paint side skirts and bumpers every winter.
then if there is time left i have a few other small plans...
