I have about half the stuff on this list so far. I have all the urethane suspension bushings, carpet, and new rear leaf springs.
I've got about half of the interior panels restored and I bought red vinyl and stitched up some red seat covers...just too much to buy to drop a lot of cash on new seat covers.
I've already installed the center console just to make the car a bit more livable while I drive it around.
I'm going to try to knock out the rear leaf springs and bushings install this weekend. I need to get the rear oil seals since the car is leaving a little river of axle fluid wherever it is parked.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...
So many LBC's to work on...so little time
