Here's a during shot, the strut and lower arm are still loose pending ride height adjustment per the factory manual.
I hope to work on it again this weekend.
Although it's been upgraded I try to keep as stock of an appearance as possible using OEM parts whenever possible. Those are even my original factory bump stops, 3 of mine were mint and I replaced one with another mint original. I even have all of the original 3 point castle nuts on my tie rod ends and one ball joint. (Anyone have some spare ball joint castle nuts?)
That's the original red paint showing, it has been over shot with some black sometime during it's life. I will remove it as/if I can over time.
