New parts are a BMR Tubular K-Member, MOOG Ball Joints/Tie-Rod Ends, and Prothane bushings. Still using the stock Upper/Lower Control Arms, Struts/Springs, Swaybar, Spindles, Steering Rack.

 

It's amazing how much "roomier" the tubular looks. Nice.

Now, are you ever going to build a motor to put in it?

 

My heads are at Phil/Skarodom/Advanced Induction right now. His last e-mail said I was scheduled for 8-11 May and shipping that week. Doesn't work out too good for me though because I'm getting sent up to NY for 3 months to help out with the Guard mission up there and then come back to my Active base down here in TX. I'm leaving for NY like the 3rd of June or so, and I really wanted to trailer it up with me. I'm hoping he can move me ahead a little bit.

It's been a year since it ran

 

That looks just amazing. Nice job!

 

Looks nice...painted spindle and calipers are sweet. Are those stock front shocks?

 

Very sweet

 

Looks good !!!

Very Clean !!!

 

I think so. prob know ones though

 

Thanks.

Nope, those are the original 111,000 mile struts! Just cleaned them up with some Simple Green. On the orange part, I used a rag and some rubbing compound to get the heavy crap off of them.

Can't wait to get it all back under the car where no one will ever see it again!

 

Dave,
How much space do you think you will gain with the Tubular K Member, as far as Header install room and plug access from bottom goes?

 

Kris, I haven't the foggiest...It's been over a year since I've seen the car assembled...

Here's some pics comparing the BMR to the stock, if it helps:
