Helps to have a complete ass infront of you at the PnP checkout. The lady was so cheesed off with the guy in front of me that she took pity on me. I got the slightly incomplete center console for $3.25, cup holder for $1.80 and that is $CDN!! Couldn't say no to that!

Took most of the day to change out the trailing link bushings. That was a challenge, but nice to feel 80% of the clunking is gone.

It's usually helpful! Had that happen once with a guy who threw a relay on the ground and walked off after being told it cost a whopping $6. The cashier and I were laughing about it.
That cashier used to work at Target, and told me how often he'd have to restock the shelves with a full cart load of crap after someone decided they didn't want any of it when they saw the price at the register.

Curious about that brace under the car. Is that one from a C70? Never seen one but have only heard of them!

There's a C70 brace at the front (that really firmed up the front end) as well as an Ultra Racing brace more rearward (that does nothing except scrape on speed bumps and add weight).

There's a good picture of the C70 brace on page 637 of this thread.

I see now it is 2 frames. That rear one does not look like it would do much. The front one maybe. A strut brace at the front and an IPD sway bar set would probably do a lot more than those I would think. It is an interesting mod though!

EEK!! Dr. Abscate has got a touch of the new disease the 'Oetikers'. Highly contagious! Might want to give him a wide berth as I hear it can be caught through your keyboard.......................!
