I’m so new to these that I don’t really know, just guessing by the look of the grille

looks like one of the migi kits, by the hole in the front of the grille, to me.

got the driver’s side to match the same angle as the passenger’s side. had to elongate the mounting hole for the inside pivot, but, it worked.

I know that the shocks are bad, and leaking oil. I can push them all the way down, they stay there, then pull them back up.I can also stop anywhere in between.I can get a set of coil over shocks rated to 1,200 pounds of extra load, and, figure that is enough to hold the rear. it’s not like it’s gonna be a daily driver.

I can get adjustable coil over shocks cheaper than the replacement shocks alone. wouldn’t that be a better replacement?

i’ll know more, later today, when I get the wheels back on to test the bearings.

I currently have the wheels, coils, and shocks off, and want to fix my rear sagging issue, along with this wheel leaning issue. the driver’s side has more lean than the passenger’s side, but, the car sits level from side to side.
mine has the stock drum set up, not the disc type shown in the picture.

I also found that the rear hubs lean in a little at the top, the driver’s side leans in a little more than the passenger’s side.bearings?

ok, finally was able to get 1 shock/ spring assembly out. that was tough. now, for the real issue.the PO had installed the wrong shocks, evidently, due to grinding down the bottom mount to fit inside the metal cup that the coil spring centers on, and cut 2 notches in it to allow 2 bolts to go down through to the bottom of the spring mount.there…[Read more]

yea,me too.

you can always ask…….or, it’s not really for sale, just for show…….

hhhhhmmmm, looks like it’s either a good parts car, or, a good air hose rack for me.

nice ride

well folks, I’m even on my cars. had a grand tied up between 2 cars that a total of 15,000 was paid for the 2, but, now, I have 0 dollars invested in both.shopping trip coming for parts.

here’s some of the underside, and, still haven’t figured out what brand the rear shocks are.

it’s a little tricky, sometimes, but, I should be able to get some up.

they were tough to get a good look at. I will be getting pictures tomorrow evening, and, will be getting lots of them, to use for reference notes.

he drove over, and, I wouldn’t want to get anyone in trouble, especially on a week night.I’m trying to keep my week night sessions to 1 to 1 1/2 hours, so, time was running short, when he stopped by. we just kinda poked around under it a little, then went over to his car, and, poked around a little more.might be a bit more serious tinkering going…[Read more]

well,it took a little doing, but, I finally got it up on the lift, and, immediately found all the allen bolts in both axles loose, so, I tightened those back up, and, hooked the heater tubes back up.had some company to stop in, so, the pictures will have to come tomorrow.lots to do under there.

workin on that. still have to put the console, and stereo back in, but, that’s inside stuff, and, hope to get that in this evening, too.I was happy just to get it off the lift. been sitting there for 2 months.
