pic request: suspension install

Does anybody have progress pics of a shox/struts and springs install? Maybe progress pics of a GSL or SE axel conversion? Somebody needs to do a tutorial kinda thing with lots of pics.

Your pics are what made me want more pics. I'm pretty sure I can handle the install fine, but I still like pics.

Grab a Victory Britsh Parts book. Works great for knowing where some bolts are on the assembly. Change suspension was very easy but time cinsuming on my 85 SE. remove the wheel, 4 13MM bolts in the engine bay top of the strut tower, two 17MM main bolts on the bottom take of brake caliper held by 2 12MM bolts and boom you have the whole front strut assembly in your hands ;]
