Thanks Jethro, the painter did a good job doing the colour blend and laying down the clear.
Scott:
Looks awesome. Here I am annoyed that I'll have to pull my rear brake calipers again to fix them, while you are re-stripping and painting the whole rear of your car. :)
metalhead:
Wow, looks good!

Starting to come back together Brad, won't be long :)
Quick question re trailing arms as i am considering what to do with mine.
Looks like your running VanSteel arms. Are you using Poly bushings with them ?
Also given i will only ever run the stock width 15's or the 18's the need for offset is not really there but the offset arms seems much better quality than standard reproductions.
I also note that a lot are now available with spherical bearings or johnny joints for better movement and less binding but i imagine that would transfer a lot more noise and vibration into the frame and car.
Other than the VanSteel ones the Global West one look nicely made.
Your thoughts would be appreciated as always.

If you dont need offset trailing arms .
Move the park brake cable bracket to the top of the trailing arm
Use 18'' rims and you will be good to go up to 10'' wide if you get the right back spacing
