Default Before and After Pics

Hi All,

Spent a little time cleaning the bottom of the car tonight in anticipation of the new rear-end and t-arms that are due this weekend. What do you think?

Thanks guys,

Simple Green and a nylon scrub brush. I never thought that it would come out that good. However I am not going to do the entire frame, heck it is just a driver. But to paraphrase Red73 "I understand why people do frame off's, in the long run it must be easier". Thanks again.

Joe

Looks Good! I started the same project Last week-end. Got lucky and only had to cut-off the outside spring bolts. Be sure to post pic's when finished. Good Luck! :cheers:

Everything came right out without a struggle. The t-arm bolts fell out!

Joe looks great, are you getting tired of being on your back and have dirt and stuff fall in your face? I'm jealous that you had such an easy time with your trailing arm bolts. When will you be getting your stuff back from Bair's? Rod :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
