Since the engine is still out
Well I figured since the engine was still out, I might as well take this time to clean up the frame rails and suspension/steering. Here is my start.
Funny how things happen, I just want to rebuild the motor. Then I go for the transmission. Now Suspension/steering. Wife said though that this is it. All of it has to be done before I continue on with anything else.

Re: Since the engine is still out
