Update
So my good friend Greg, the gergwheel, whom I am forever in debt to, helped me get the car over to his lift to work on Max. So far we have: Replaced the inner and outer tie rods, installed Moog ball joints, new struts, caster camber plates and the 5 lug swap is complete on the front. We also installed rear shocks, took down the very stock, old exhaust (it fell off practically), installed poly bushings on the transmission and pulled the drive shaft.
Next up to install the aluminum driveshaft, strut brace, rear sway bar, axles and distributor. Then Max should kick some ass at my next Mid Ohio/Nelson Ledges visit.
I'll have pictures next time I visit.
