Well I got the driveshaft in yesterday. Amazing how easy things go together...Just the time it takes to put it all together right...UGH!




I also managed to tidy up the engine bay a bit, tied wires down, replace a heater hose, cleaned the spiders n corrosion out of the glow plug relay, clean a few connectors and try to find the electrical tape again...

I opted not to rebuild the exhaust hanger, I undid it abit and all the mounts were still good so I will save the kit for the 78 which I know needs it badly....

I finally got the jack stands out from out of the rear! And moved to the front...Know how hard it is to change from a car ramp to a jack stand? UGH! No oil, no radiator and so I couldn't just drive it down...

Got the front tires off and the UCA's off....I think they are just fine...What do you think? New one in the center for comparison...Amazing the ball joints are still really tight..




Tomorrow after coffee n pain pill I will put the new torsion/sway bar bushing on the firewall, clean the ends of the bar and install the arms....Still waiting on two bushings so can't button this up yet...

Want to install the after market cruise control too at some point..
