Suspension Done!

Finally the rear lower control arms arrived from FFR. I now had all the parts needed to install the rear suspension. The installation took about a half a day doing it myself, most of which was maneuvering the heavy rear up and through the frame. After the rear suspension was done I finally was able to see the car off the jack stands and on it’s own wheels for the first time! The pictures didn’t turn out very good because of the sun/shade contrast. See below for pictures:

We have a roller! This is the back of the car.

This picture didn’t turn out too good. Side shot of car in driveway.
