So I got the parts back from the sandblaster and was able to put 2 coats o’paint on them before my sister’s wedding, and 2 coats after. I had to get new bushings for the control arms at $16. With any luck, I’ll finish the fence and then I can play with the car some more. Whoopie!

Had to buy another brake cylinder since the genius bought 2 of the same side. ($14) I also had to buy new stainless bolts ad mounting screws which set me back. ($16)

I also think I mounted the rubber grease sleeve wrong on the upper control arm, so I’m going to have to disassemble the whole thing now.  Great.  Not a happy day, today.

(T.C. $8366)
