What do you need help with in particular? Looks good inside, it's not missing anything. Just needs a vacuum, clean the interior panels and a drivers' seat lol.

Okay, just post questions and pictures in your build thread, and we can help the best we can there.

I've been working on my brake swap a couple hours every day before work and I have it completely disassembled and every part accounted for. I've been cleaning up every bolt and its location with PB blaster and the wire wheel to try and remove a little of the age from them. The trailing arms have no rust and the original finish is still in great condition! So I'm planing on replacing everything and only repainting the front knuckles. I'll be reusing the front knuckles/ spindles and RTAs/spindles only.



I've started to remove the RTA bushings, and will be replacing them with the energy suspension bushings I still have from my master kit that I saved for just this occasion. I didn't want to burn them out because the trailing arms are in such good shape so I drilled multiple small holes around the 'dog bones' in he center to remove them, and the remaining surrounding rubber to make it easier to break up for removal.




I began patiently and slowly scoring the rubber around the dog bones for removal, and when I could get
A bite on them with vice grips and continued cutting away as much as I could.



Lastly I cleaned them up on the wire wheel removing the remaining rubber and am very satisfied with the results.



More updates to come as I progress, thanks for following

Thank you very much sir.

yeah, I've done this twice. cleaning up those old bushings takes time and patience. NOT a fun time in the garage
