    And while I did this crazy move I may also address couple more things. These are strut rod mounts in the making and revised upper control arm delrin bushings. Enjoy the pics, I will try and uptade work as I move along.

    This is going to be a real clean and good looking build. Keep up the good work!

    Thanks Hector, I am trying to my best abilities. But this time I am only focusing on frame and suspension and engine. Body front clip and even rear end are going back as they are, so it wont be all that clean but I really need to take Riv for a spin this year.. Also diving into body work now isn't in my financial reach so this will have to wait. Oh I forgot,, there will be also a set of new wheels. 315/40*18 rear and 295/40*18 up front. More grip baby. And AN hoses all around.
    Hector, when I get to my shop I'll take a picture of my heat riser delete to show it to You. I know that You have made 'em to.
    And couple more pictures for a viewing pleasure.

    And a little update, i had a lot of work on customer cars so not much done on the Riv, but I try to do a little bit every day. Grommet is from Citroën, fits like a charm. Rear control arms are being Alodined.
