Before starting the pics and documentation is all out of order. I would finish two or three projects as starting one meant picking up one or two more in most areas. Remove rotors to look everything over might as well replace bearings since there's metal in cap. Take drums off to turn and wheel cylinder and hardline leaking. Get control arms rebuilt to notice tie rods flopping a lot. You get the point and I was not gonna put worn parts back when I already had apart and cleaned. The underneath of the car is brand new now except for a few bolts I reused. Traction is way better,but still can't get it all down through 265/50 street tread. Absolutely no wheel hop though and I laid two blacks about 1/8 mile long on my high school back road. And I signed my dads parking lot with a big bold J, started straight flipped her around and stopped halfway back for a perfect J for Jason.
