Yea it's at my friends body shop right now and I should have an estimate by the end of the day. He has worked on many of my friends cars so I trust him.

 

Well my body shop guy gave me an estimate of about $2600 for labor (both body work and suspension work) while I supply my own parts.

I want to fix the suspension myself and save probably over 1000 on labor. He said the crossmember was pushed pretty far back. Is it a hard part to replace (cross member)? The other suspension stuff (control arm, tie rod, sway bar) shouldnt be too hard right?

 

I was just replacing the whole suspention about 4-5months ago, front sway bar is a pain in the butt to take out...but very easy to put in.
just make sure you have somebody next to you to hold the other side.

but front and back I finnished in one day( if you take it slow ).

where do you live in Cali?

Thanks. That is very reassuring.

I am in San Francisco

 

man if you were a little closer to LA I would help you change everything..

 

2 months after I bought an 1990 GTU I was broadsided and it was totalled. I bought it back from the insurance company for $500 and bought another one same year/color/model with less mileage. I was able to swap everything I modified unto the other car such as the intake, stereo, exhaust etc without much hassle.
GTU's may not be as rare as T2's but if you wait a little while to find another one the rewards for having a spare parts car in the long run are well worth it.

 

I have A-arms if you want them.

 

Sent you a PM.

 

I live in watsonville like 50 minute drive south of san fancisco. I might be able to help you. I have a frunt clip with all the suspension stuff, I would sell suspension stuff cheap and deliver it.



good luck.
