Suspension parts arrived!

Summit delivery!

Auto Zone part #s (Inner driver #ES2001L AND Passenger inner is #ES2002- which I bought off Ebay.

Center link painted.

Using this paint

Pic of center link, idler, inner and outers.

I plan on repainting the sway bar now that this looks so nice.

Total cost of front suspension parts, including subframe bushings, tie rods, shocks, all control arm bushings, ball joints, center link, idler, greasable sway bar links- $375, including paint. This is using Craigslist for brand new shocks, Ebay for the inner passenger tie rod, Summit for discount idler and center link- basically doing some very fierce budget shopping.

Here are some additional shots:

I started this blog for the purpose of keeping track of my Firebird build. I am not a mechanic for a living but a hobbyist. I am a father of two young boys. When I am not hanging out with them or doing God stuff, I am working on this car. It is my passion.

I do not have a particular build style other than this: My Style. The hope at the end of this is that this car will be thoroughly Pontiac and thoroughly second gen!

Hopefully this will be helpful and enjoyable to all who read it. I am on a tight budget with this car but have learned (and am learning) that it is very important to do it right. Sooo, it will be done in a manner that is both budgetary and functional. Just as so its burnout capable, that will be good enough for me.

Thanks for following along.
