My intention was just to get it road worthy again and probably sell it. I replaced the front subframe and the damaged suspension bits with used, stock parts.

Rear subframe had to be replaced as well. (I really regret not getting the solid RSFB when I had it out!)

The car was drivable, passed state inspection and alignment was spot on. I figured a good shakedown test would be a 1200 mile road trip to climb Mount Washington. The car drove fantastically and I fell in love with her again.
