Finally got back to the parts car. My granson gave me a hand and within a few hours we had the whole front end apart.
Looks like the shocks are the originals which would make them 41 years old.
He wants to. He smacked me in the chest a while back when we went in the garage and he saw the car in pieces. He looked at me, then at the car ,then at me and wack. What did you do to my car he said. I just laughed.
Mark these springs are coming your way as soon as the two rear are removed. Im gonna rebuild all these front end parts and install them onto my car, I think my front end parts are all original, its in need of a rebuild.
