Re: Garm's 1969 project
woah woah woah,,,,,,all I have are the shocks. the fronts leak, and the lower studs are a mess. the rears "seem ok", but all are from the early 70s I'm sure.. The springs and sway bar are installed on my SR20 chassis. sorry.

Re: Garm's 1969 project
Dutch Boy, huh? Do they still make that?
I just switched my front ones out for LED switchback bulbs. I wanted clear lenses, and this seems like a great combo.
The new bulbs had a ton of LED's all over them.
Here's a video of how they work, in broad sunny daylight:

The can did not appear to be very old. I'll dig around a bit. IIRC Lowes.

I suppose "-ish" is a reasonable answer to the question....

well shoot, my clutch was to the floor again this afternoon, just from sitting all day. Must be sucking some air from somewhere?
