Progress on the Van Part 2

I have some time at home to sit at my desktop and properly write this.

In the past two weeks I have removed the front bumper,

And removed the front suspension parts. ( sorry about the bad photo )

I also removed the running board covers, leaving the structure.

I replaced the passenger side idler arm with a new high quality one.

I also cleaned and painted the frame and surrounding metal.

This is a shot of the drivers side. I replaced the upper and lower control arms as well as the steering linkage inner and outer ball joints as well as the connecting sleeve.

Same for the passenger side.

I also replaced all four shocks.

For the first time since I have owned this vehicle, the front end is tight as it was when it was new,

Next week I will have pictures of the work I started on the back. There are some rust issues i'm addressing.

I'm also working on the rear drum brakes.
