Re: Trying to make Junky perhaps just a little bit Funky...

Made a little more progress.

Installed the ball joints and the control arm shafts... hmmm, I guess that's really it.

Tried to rebuild the caliper and failed miserably. Damaged both of the seals I both. Gave up and ordered rebuilt calipers from Advance Auto.

Followed the advice on the forum and screwed in the shafts one turn at a time on each side.

Spent some time over the past few days trying to clean up the area where the control arms attach. Got some oven cleaner this morning and tried it out. Worked pretty good on the easy to get to spots, and okay on some of the harder areas.

Painted the hump the upper control arm attached too (I don't know what it's called).

Really hoping to get this side done and wheels on the ground tomorrow. Think I am going to power-wash the other side before I take it apart.
