The new Z had a bent rear trailing arm when I bought it, so it had to be changed. Yesterday, I got to it. I wanted to swap subrames aswell, but dealing with 11 and 9 year old brake lines, parking brake lines and seized bolts, that didnt happen. So I ended up having to replace the metal hardlines from the flex hose to the wheel cylinders, the wheel cylinders, spring holddown kit, plus a bunch of other little parts. Heres the pics...
The 2 victims.
And out the donor comes.
Both removed...
Another thing I replaced, upgraded to braided steel flex lines.
You air ride boys got NOTHING on me
Rear end done, you can see in the pic that I put my Koni Reds on.
And how the White car looks now, poor thing...
Im gonna try swap out the subframes this week, but my ime is very limited, so we shall see.

there are no 'axles' in the rear.
I think you should swap over the black trunk too, it would look hot.
I feel your pain w/ the donar being a bitch. And you guys thought a fire hydrant did all the damage to the blue car lol...jk.

4 Cams...32 Valves...5 Liters...This Could Get Fun!
The trunk is going to be painted black soon. The theme for this car is pretty much total blackout. Black headlights and tinted tails to come.

Makes me wish I had a paved driveway.....
Nice work so far!

After living in a house with a paved driveway for 20+ years...it feels weird to even think of working on gravel. Though I know plenty of guys on here do and have worked on them. I just need more tools and equipment...as well as storage first
id lose so many tools working on gravel
I work on dirt....no complaining lol. Try rolling a cherry picker over dirt.....not fun.

I have actually, but ours was a rented tow behind cherry picker, so it had inflatable tires
That was back when I was planning a 305 V8 swap into my 229ci V6 81 Malibu...before it all fell through and the car was sold out from under me. Oh well...now Dad and I have been toying around with the idea of swapping a charged Eco into the 86 Caballero
Sorry to tangent on the thread guys ^^;
trim your bushes you lazy south african @!#$!
Well I got back to swapping stuff over. Here are the pics
Starting on the white car.
Subframe with Adco sway bar, urethane control arm bushings and lower dogbone mount.
The new cars turn...
This is what the calipers looked like, believe it or not, they are only a couple months old.
Both subframes out.
Everything removed.
Also swapped pcm's, now this car is HP tuned
Calipers look better now
The rust came off the rotors after one brake application
Koni Reds and sprint springs installed.
Couple pics from tonight, notice the new front end
The car is FILTHY because our parking garage is under heavy construction.
The engine right now.
The trunk is getting painted next week when Marlenes car gets out of the bodyshop...
Questions and comments welcome.
