I was able to knock both out in a relatively short amount of time. It was fun to see how easy it was to do this work, although in both cases, it took me a while to figure out what I was looking at. For example, on the rear shocks, it took me 2 hours to do the first one, and probably 30 minutes to do the second.

Same thing on the brakes. The only issue on the front brakes was a stuck piston on the drivers side that I wrestled with for about an hour...finally got it unstuck, although I should have just replaced the caliper (didn't have that luxury at the time).

All that said, it was cool doing these repairs. The only major thing left is the radiator, but I'll have to save my pennies for a while to pick that one up.

Loving this car!
