Still working on the 2nd gen. Jacked it up for the first time and discovered the front end needed bushings and balljoints. I guess you could say they were one step from not being there lol. Could move the tire 3" in and out. So you know you can't just slop some new parts into the nasty old a-arms right?

Here's a pic of before..




Then today I bead blasted and powder coated the spindle, backing plate, and spring. I'm still working on everything else.






Mucho better! Especially since the PO evidently either lived on a dirt road or kept the car in the ditch. There's a 1/4" layer of caked on mud over everything under there.

PS. Just noticed in the pic.. Look what whoever did breaks last time did with the brake hose! Shocked
