Additional Pan Pics

Bottomside of pan, framehead in primer.

Test fit up of the new discs and calipers (no pads yet). These are powdercoated semi-gloss black to give some contrast to the wheels...which were also powdercoated.

Rear suspension rebuild

This shows the IRS - independent rear suspension, reinstalled, with test fit up of the new rear shocks, KYB GR-2's. The installatin included:
- new rubber (vs. polyurethane) diagonal arm bushings - BFY Obsolete Parts
- powdercoated diagonal arm and spring plates (thanks to East Coat Powdercoat)
- all new spring plate and diagonal arm hardware (the old nuts and bolts were rusted out)
- new rubber bump stops (CIP1.com)
- new axle bearings and seals, repacked
- stripped, prepped and applied 2 coats Master Series Silver primer, and one coat AG111 finish coat to the exposed portions of the rear axles.
- new bearing plate bolts (CIP1) - not shown here
- replaced the drum brakes with disc brakes from CIP1 (I think this is an EMPI kit; despite the bad reports on the quality of EMPI products, this appears to be a good quality setup) - pics to follow
