Have the rear end up
« on: March 20, 2021, 23:44:37 »
Have the rear end up but am stuck with the trailing arms 36mm bolts. I can get them threaded most of the way then jams up. I know from first hand they were a royal pain disassembling them but it seems to be as bigger pain reassembling them.

Pretty sure I attached the trailing arms to the rear axle the attached the trailing arms to the floor of the car.

Had to ream the holes on the rear axle so the trailing arm mounting bolts can pass through, now to compress & lock down the coil springs to bolt up the trailing arms then to mount the wheels and back to the body shop for final paint.
