Not so sure about the purple, but to each their own I say. I agree, it would have a been nice to pull the axle and paint it, but time has had an effect on the shops ability to get to some things, and the axle painting is one of them...
Once I have the car back, I might make it one of my projects.

Looks good. Might I ask about the traction bar at the rear? Is this to accommodate the lowered suspension? I like your choice of colours. And you can keep your Air Care in Van; I sure am glad the rest of the Province doesn't have it yet!!

Thanks,
The Adjustable Pan hard rod is for exactly that, when the car is lowered, the axle shifts to one side. The Panhard rod allows us to bring the axle back to center.

I agree, Air Care sucks, it might be going away! One can only hope...

Take care!
