Hey guys -
So cabin fever has got the best of me this year so I decided to bite the bullet and restore the rear suspension to match my front suspension rebuild that I completed last year. Just thought I would show off the progress.
I had the upper and lower links sandblasted, powder coated, with new bushings pressed in
Both rear hub carriers blasted, treated, with new bearings pressed in:
Both rear stock springs blasted and powder coated
New spax shocks
New Inconel trailing arm bolts
Refurbished drive shafts
New emergency brake cables
First thing was to get the car off the ground and start tearing things down:

Next.... down to the frame:

Next was to address the rust on the frame, POR-15, and paint it:

Then, the reassembly:

I think things turned out pretty well. Now to get it to the alignment shop.
