It is easier fore me to replace the broken studs for the shocks if the coilspring is not there. I also have to replace the endlinks and check my subframe pockets on the car and the pivot bushings on the car for the sway bar for RUST
I finally have a back-up vehicle so I think this car's driving days are numbered. I am going to TRY to do a frame off this winter and see what happens.
the floors on this car are MINT, the only rust is in the typical rocker/wheel well areas. I'm also going to repaint the suspension parts and what not...a general complete restoration/customization.
