It had not been driven since 1990. I couldn't get the carb just right, so I decided to take it to my hot rod guy to fix it. On the way down, the rear spring collapsed, the left motor mount collapsed and set the power steering pulley on the frame. Anyway, the left trailing arm appears to be bent. Now the car has a new fiberglass rear spring, new adjustable control arms and is awaiting a new trailing arm assembly for the left rear. Note: dont be fooled, the 80-82 arms are different from the 63-79 ones! Hoping to get these things resolved so she can drive it before winter, It is already licensed and insured... more money!

"RE: Carla's 1980" Sep-27-14, 09:22 PM (EDT) I know I shouldn't complain. Car is still not on the road. Just got the bent trailing arm replaced and aligned Friday. Anxious to get this project finished!
