My rolling restoration continues!
During the year Ive owned my 68 2L, Ive:
Sorted out the electrical issues,
Replaced the fuel pump,
Inspected, adjusted, and put new fluid in the brakes
Put on a new clutch master cylinder and rebuilt slave cylinder
Put on rebuilt SUs from Z-Therapy (BIG difference)
Put in a new interior from Dean (High qualityfits great)
Countless other tinkerings that dont immediately come to mind but ones that
have contributed to making the car a safe, dependable, and fast ride.
Along the way Ive learned tons about the car and had a lot of fun. Now
its now time to get started on the suspension!
Things have been pretty quiet on the list the last few days, so I wonder if
I can get a conversation started about what suspension modifications /
rebuilds the group has experience with.
Specifically, Im wondering about:
Steering box anybody out there rebuild them if I send them the core? (I
want TIGHT steering)
Idler arm same question
Tie rods Any NOS out there? Cost?
Ball joints Ive got that covered.working with a rare parts manufacturing
Co in CA.. Let me know if youre interested in an update
Bushings, etc.What do you suggest?
Cutting the front springs your thoughts?
Front sway bar are thicker ones available?
Cutting the suspension bumpers in front and back / your thoughts?
Tires Whats a good size for dropping the car 1 < inch?
Back suspension Any info on LSDs?
Back springs any thoughts about removing the smaller short ones to drop
the car?
Shocks front and read recommendations?
One other thing.Im looking for the contact information for Bruce

computer crash and I havent been able to contact Bruce through E-bay.
