    And I have to agree, migraines suck.
    Need specifics, as it is there is nothing on this (mechanically speaking) car that isn't either new, closely inspected, or rebuilt.... if you're talking about the steering box, it is coming out tonight for a once-over and an adjust.

    Here's the fully list of what's not being changed
    1) lower ball joints - they're new from PO
    2) tie rod ends (except the steering box attachment) new from PO
    3) u-joint in rear diff and driveshaft - probably not new but no slop

    Here's what's being/been done
    1) poly everything including dust boots
    2) fiberglass rear spring
    3) new brake system including lines
    4) new motor (bottom end has 30k, top end is new)
    5) rebuilt transmission - and even this gets changed soon to the ST-10
    6) boxed frame at the front sway bar, plate area around steering box
    7) rebuilt rear differential
    8 ) giovanni upper arm addition (adds upper control arm that ties to the top of the differential - I'll post pictures of the bits tonight)
    9 )roll bar
    10) seat harnesses
    11) new tires
    12) new wheels
    12) inspected bearings
    13) new sway bars + heim joints instead of bushings
    14) replace mounts for differential with poly
    15) replace lower control arms with adjustable units and johnny joints (or similar)
    16) Johnny joints in the control arms (rear)
    17) new fuel lines with no hose longer then 6"
    18 )new fuel pump
    19) new lines to tank
    20) blow out lines

    I'm sure there's more - honestly, I document when I remember, but it's certainly not all I'm doing

    With all that said, thank you Bob (seriously) for checking my work - it's really easy to forget to do something important
