As I had the buggy out today for a quick leg strech and bath I thought Id share the pic showing how the rear suspension looks all done...

Looking good, Dan! I always thought your car looked like it was siiting pretty low in the back! So it looks great, but how does it ride and handle?

Hey Rook-man, have ya checked the universal joints on yer half shafts? Also, the differential mount bushing is a good thing to check - when they go bad, you'll hear a "clunk" when you step on the gas.
 
Have fun!!
