    You are right! That looks like you did some serious work! I will post a photo or 2 once I figure out how and if I have permission. How did it handle after the front rebuild and discs? I noticed you said you used the 348 springs.... Aren't those still a bit stiffer than the "normal" ones? I guess the disc brake kit spindles used roller bearings instead of the stock ball bearings. Mine is all stock underneath and looks like very few parts have been changed. It is a Six cylinder with 93 thousand on the clock. I am looking forward to your and others' advice as I proceed.

    Thanks!!

    More greetings from downunder!

    I understand that you're allowed to post pics up after ten posts.
    I, however, have never properly understood the procedure.
    It has been explained to me in words of one syllable that a ten year old could understand; but I'm not a ten year old, and don't have a silicone chip for a brain.
    I've managed a half-dozen or so; but that's all.
    I've noted, that as of my posting this, you have eleven posts.
    So have a go; prove you're smarter than I am!
