Just ordered BC Racing coil overs and a big brake kit

So I’m working on getting the old brake stuff off of the car, and my brake line flair nuts will have to be vice gripped off. I was thinking of going back with Nickel Copper lines. Does anybody have a suggestion on a supplier they like/trust?

So I’m almost done putting everything back on the car except I need to change the hand brake cable. Looking under the car it looks like the only way I’ll be able to replace it is if I remove the diff and drive shaft?

I think you can actually work around all of that. Not easy but doable...

Hmm seems like I need to invest in some those long needle nose pliers

Chris. Getting ready to purchase coil overs as well. I went ahead and purchased front and rear donor strut assemblies and will rebuild the donor parts. Have you purchased the BC parts yet? I’ll put my originals in storage once I get the donors rebuilt and modified

Yep I bought them already and they are on the car. I haven’t driven with them yet because I have to redo my brake lines do to having to vice grip my the flairs nuts for my brake lines to install my big brake kit. Here is a pic of my dirty wheels with the big brakes behind them

We they pre-notched for the front struts? Got any pics from your install?

All of the weld on threaded tubes are notched. I don’t have any pics since I was trying to get it done as fast as I could but if you look at Hazmatt’s build thread he has pictures.
