Wow, I just finished doing pretty much the exact same thing you are doing. Here's some things I know for DAMN sure: 1. Pull the engine/trans unless you have a bunch of jacks and amazing skill. 2. Your shifters are gonna be a real *ahem* "science project". 3. You CAN use the stock rag joint on the steering, but not sure yet for how long... 4. New stock rad hoses can be cut up to work, but won't clear stock airbox. 5. The trailing arm/trans mount subframe (which I call the six-pack) can be done last, the car will stand without it bolted on. Just don't drive or anything. 6. If you decide to do drop strut mounts, which I have decided basically aren't for me, make sure to think about camber correction. I forgot about that... 7. Putting things in between the square tubing is good. However, I don't know who decided it was absolutely necessary. I mean, it looks like it, doesn't it? I will do it eventually, but for now I jump my car basically twice a day and have really beaten the H out of it without failure. Also, I used 3x6 tube, FWIW. 8. If you are cheap (I am) the stock rear brake lines make a great extension for the front with a little union piece in between. 9. If you had bad CV joints before the conversion (really bad) and end up driving around without a shifter boot for a while, the sparks are coming from your CV joints. Cool cool. I hope your lift gives goes well. If you wonder how I did anything, let me know. It's all still fresh in my mind.
