The
Restoration Continues!
This is the most crutial
part of the restoration! This is what separates the good from the better!
In my case it started out with an overall sandblasting, rustproofing and
painting. Next came the new suspension pieces - ball joints, bushings,
tie rods, and such. Then most things need rebuilding. This part also requires
a lot of research and planning. But believe me, you'll be very pleased
in the end! I tried to include as many before/after shots as I could. The
key to success is contrasts - the factory used lots of diffent colors (grey,
black, silver, etc) - they will really make your car stand out!
I tried to make most
things appear as they did originaly. I repicated all the factory
inspection markings and replaced the spring tags and other little details
like that. I also retained the original T-3 headlights (I don't know
how long I will be able to stand them though). The brake and fuel
lines were replaced with stainless ones so I will never have to worry about
them again.
