This is for 2010, and I'll be collecting parts as I go through the year.

I plan to buy a house this year, and one with a nice garage, with heat, and a very nice floor to work in. Some place where I can really work on the car in damn near luxury.

The car gets the body done this year, and underneath next year.

The suspension is being completely replaced from top to bottom.

Front:
Subframe will be pulled, as well as the engine and the subframe will be stripped of all its bushings and powdercoated black. New ES bushings will go in, and whatever isn't replaced by ES will be replaced by a stock bushing. New bolts/nuts/washers all around with the highest grade possible while keeping the weight down.

Rear:
Driveshaft/rear suspension will be dropped and de-bushed, powdercoated and restored. All ES bushings, and solid urethane/aluminum diff bushings. The diff will be re-shimmed and case cleaned/blasted/powdercoated, with a nice clean rear cover.

The driveshaft will have all U-joints replaced with grease-able ones.

The underbody will be cleaned and rocker-guarded. The fuel tank will be dropped as well and cleaned/rockerguarded.

Suspension setup will be a K-Sport or JIC setup, full coilover.

Brakes will be a Baer Track Kit. ABS will be deleted.

More to come.
