I don't mean to clutter your thread at all, but what parts do you think I should order?

New ball joints, tie rods, LCA bushings, and a manual steering rack with corresponding knuckle?

That sounds about right. How are you upper ball joints?
They are a bit pricey b/c they are part of the control arm.

Make sure you buy both LCA bushings the inner and outer.
Your best bet would be to raise the front wheels and shake the front end down.
We should be able to take care of that one of these upcoming Sundays.
Plus I've been in the mood for some Halal.

well, I found a package deal (I bought it before) for $150, tierods, balljoints (upper and lower) with new arm and sway bar endlinks. the LCA bushing set, will be the only issue, but I might be able to get a set of new LCAs for under $300 so we'll see. and the rack, I have to go to Harrys or something.

thanks man, I appreciate you helping and you know halal is on me!

You don't have to order new LCA's just 2 bushings per side.
The old bushings could be removed and pressed in new.

Unless your looking to get it all done in one day. Then buying the lca's would be great.

I just have to pick up a new hood and drop it off at the shop to get sprayed.

I'm just glad to see this thing really starting to take off. Now that I got the paint out of the way. The building and stacking of parts begins.

Here are some pictures of the car as of today.
Keep in mind that car was just sprayed and the paint is curing for now.
They still have to wet sand, cut, and buff.































Only way to do it.

Bring this to the front y0

Small UPDATE!!!

Have to pick up my hood from Honda today and drop her off.
Along with these bumper plugs I recently picked up.
They are the same color, just want to make sure they are the same shade.
So, I'm gonna have the painter lay a new base and clear on them.
