Well the car is done and back on the ground. Didn't take any more pics of it getting put back together because, well, I just wanted to be done. I was a dummy and didn't mark my alignment pins when I took it apart so it's terribly out of alignment. The Maiden voyage wasn't a terribly exciting one due to this. The good news was I didn't hear any unwanted noises and the car didn't handle strangely.
Depending on the weather I'll be taking it to the alignment shop this week and having that all squared away. Then its time to start looking for a couple a new rear tires (not sure why the rears are bald when the fronts look fine....
). Any good suggestions for tires?

). Any good suggestions for tires?Well I got it out today to go for alignment. The tech told me I had a sloppy tie rod and that my strut rod bushings weren't in the best of shape. Which kind of figures as theses are the last pieces that I need to change on the front end. The tech wasn't the brightest and couldn't fine the camber adjustment for the rear. So I made him put it back on the table and showed him how to adjust it. Thankfully since it was closing time and he didn't want to redo the rear they are letting me come back in for a free alignment once I change out the parts in the front end.
When I got home I found a puddle of antifreeze where the car was parked. So I guess I have some work to do before the power tour.
