[QUOTE="Vic Sorlie, post: 1009531, member: 69241"] From your pictures it looks like just about all the front suspension bits are original. Good luck with getting those off. Just remember: PB Blaster is your friend. You can save some money if you do some of this yourself. Sway bar links and bushings would be about $50 from RockAuto and it's not a hard job - hand tools and jack stands will suffice, but I recommend you also install new fasteners as you replace things. There are rust converter products out there (search paint-on rust converter) that will help. Were it me I'd concentrate on making it a good driver (fluids, plugs, filters, etc.) and replace ball joints and bushings as funds permitted. Check this site's Projects section and YouTube videos for things that you think you may tackle yourself. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
