Chassis Preparation:

Now that the engine was almost like new, I felt that the rest of the car should be mechanically sound too.
I began by putting the chassis up on jacks and proceeded to remove and disassemble all of the suspension and braking components.  The suspension parts were cleaned, sandblasted, and painted.  The koni shocks were rebuilt to spec., and most of the rubber suspension bushings were replaced.  The master cylinder, all of the brake lines, ball joints, and tie rod ends were also replaced.  The brake calipers were reconditioned and the steering rack was cleaned and lubricated.  Another big job was the removal of the engine compartment insulation and preparing the engine bay for the motor installation.
