I got the new shock in from the vendor on Thursday, so I set aside this morning for finishing up the front end. It feels good to have the suspension and brake work completed -- well, mostly. There's still a few little details left and of course the brake lines still need to be done. Still, it's one more thing off the list.
Adding the old brake line brackets made the difference in the bolt lengths -- they don't drag on the discs anymore. I haven't bent over the locking tabs yet, as I'm still hoping to find a set of the proper brackets. As an aside, I'm putting all these little unfinished details on a marker board in the garage so that I won't forget to do them at some point.
<span style="font-style: italic">Calipers and front springs installed</span>
As a final job for the morning I installed the front wheels. This is the first time in over a year that all four wheels have been on the car. It's a sign of some real progress. I still have the tie rod ends to do, but they're waiting in case I have to pull the steering rack in order to fit the new brake lines.
<span style="font-style: italic">Look ma, all the wheels are on!</span>
Next up is tackling the transmission and figuring out what I want to do for fuel lines and a fuel pump. I've also got to call about getting my exhaust header coated. That's Monday's job, got to keep the process going.
