Another update!
I took the upper controller arms, calipers and wheel bearings off the spindles tonight. The bearings were shot and I need new calipers!
Here's a shot of the spindle after a visit to the sandblaster and the other one waiting to go in!

What it all looked like when I took it off the car:

Yeah, the sandblaster is the only way to renew old parts and let you inspect them properly for cracks.

My wife has been sandblasting my parts and coating them with POR!

Finally got my controller arms off the subframe. Had to burn out the bushings because the bolt was seized.

Well, more updates!

Got the heads off the engine tonight. It's ready to go to Nova Automotive for them to bore out the block, change freeze plugs, blueprint and machine the heads. More evidence of stop-leak too.

Took the timing cover off and all looked good except the chain guide. In picture #2 you'll see a better view of the broken guide.

I'm not sure if my thread just isn't interesting, but I won't continue to post updates if there's no interest.

Dude... Dont stop posting, its a great thread. You are making great progress. Member participation is down right now, its that time of year when everybody's out doin stuff in the nice weather and not checkin in as often. Keep the pics coming man.

just checking in, keep up the good work.

Any reason why you chose to keep all stock stuff instead of going to lighter tubular components in the front end?
