Well got all my suspension and brakes done.. brakes need a little more bleeding, i think its lookin pretty damn good. Nice lower to it, not too much.. just right i think.

Well i took it to schwabs to get my alignment.. blahblah i need tie rod ends, which i forgot to do.. they dont have any in stock so i gotta go back for alignment monday now right? wrong.

Got all both tie rod ends done and everything, came inside finally happy. Wait about an hour go back out to start it to pull it into the garage... OPTI CRAP WENT TOTALLY OUT, now the car wont start so its just gonna sit there lookin good til i can scrounge up the money. To make my long story short.

Damnit.

opti's suxor.

Yes, I would get it realigned if you replaced the tie-rods. you should only need them to check the toe, and align the steering wheel though.

before tie rods i replaced, upper lower control arm bushings, and balls joints, also put in my hotchkis springs and koni adjustables, is why i need full alignment.

also put in a new kmember that is not bent.. my other one was tweaked to where it only had 2 bolts in one side and the third was 1/2" of of even lining up.

good deal Tim - glad to hear that you are closer.

not that it helps but the one thing that seems to be consistent on these projects is 'it's always something'.

maybe when you are done that car will almost handle as well as a thirdgen Razz
