suspension, installed!

today, in about 4 hours - i finally got my suspension done. picking up the parts earlier in the week, i set out to get it installed this afternoon and it went quite smoothly. i actually took the luxury of doing some things slow & methodically, to be extra-careful.

plenty of pics follow - except i forgot to snap one after i rolled the car out of the garage, but trust me it’s out and i’ve driven it. yay!

parts still in their bags
