So I finally got on it in between working on the van. Had a few set backs. Rear subframe has really had it along with a bunch of other components as you will see. Hoping to get this thing lower and converted to disc brakes before the Mini Run. Here's a few pics:
Old cones, ORIGINAL from 76, yikes.
Check out the rear cones, probably some of the worst I have seen.
Test fitting sump guard, will need some tweaking.
Oh look, backing plate not wanting to be part of the lowered party. Good thing I had a extra set. To bad all the bolts snapped replacing it.
Lowered SPAX adjustable shocks and blue springs. Found a old set of camber brackets, tossed those on, oh the fun of almost 40 year old bolts that have never been turned.
Trimming a little off the inside lip to get that extra 1/2" or so. Cambered right in.
The money shot of where I'm heading.
