New shiny solid bushings, with the old bolt to hold alignment. Yes I used anti-seize.

A better look at the condition of my radiator shroud. This side is significantly worse due to battery acid.

Six bolts took 3 days. God help me. Now to install the subframe connectors, which require ~ 8 holes to be drilled (apparently you should drill each side separately.). Followed by fuel lines, and an upcoming trip to the machine shop for the engine. On track to be functional again this summer.

To do:

Fuel lines, Subframe connectors, Tires, brake lines, engine install, tranny tailshaft seal, tranny install, fluids, hoses, battery?, shifter fix, misc wiring, inspection, whatever I break in the mean time.

It took almost a week for me to get out the bolt for the headlight actuator. Carriage head style on one end, and the bolt snapped flush on the other, with no room to hammer into the broken end to try and work it out. That reminds me, I need to head to Sears to replace a couple of screwdrivers were broken tips.

I did have that happen to a carriage bolt on my bumper, had to grind the whole head off. I really need a welder.
