Got some ball joint extenders





Also finished up patching the pointless driver's side notch.



i know my welds aren't the best. but i always grind them down to make sure i made penetration then and do another bead ontop to finish weld them.



finished refreshing my shift linkage.


control arm hardware


drilling my spindles for the tie rod flip the correct way. PO i guess used a hand drill and caused the sleves to crack and the spindles to be fucked.



and not with new everything the front end is mostly back together


but before i put it back down and take pics people actually care about i decide to tackle shortening my axles.





5mm both sides. but the driver side will be a tad tough because of the hole its sold part I'm not to sure how to go about cutting it. so i guess ill have to find a machine shop to do it and taper the ends so the weld can penetrate deeper. then i will sleeve the axles where the cut it and good to go. don't worry i won't be welding my self. big thanks to my buddy skippy for all the help with the axles.

WUT no way I'd drop the money on new everything and ball joint extenders and just hammer my tie rods into a drilled spindle. I used the bug pack kit, drilled the spindle and pressed them in.

And it's a race land header, the quality looks decent and the fit was really good, slid right on.
