Next I went on to cut a coil off the rear springs, mount poly bushings on rear shocks (upper and lower), put in poly bushings on rear sway bar at mounting to Dedion. With this, the rear end is complete All bushings (poly), mounts, cut one coil of springs, rebuild shift linkage.

Below some pics.
1. Cutting a coil of the rear spring - vrmmm, vrmmm - the angle grinder came in handy.
2. After assembling everything I raised the car with a jack under the Dedion to get an idea of the new rear ride height. It still looks too high. Perhaps I should cut another coil?

Just called Autopower. They hope to have the roll cage ready for pick-up tomorrow, Friday, but we'll have to see...

Another outstanding issue is the driveshaft. I finished rebuilding it last weekend, and Monday morning I took it to a shop that has previously balanced such driveshafts, but that was 3-4 years ago under different ownership - they now claim they can't balance it Does anyone know of a driveline shop in the Irvine area that knows how to balance the transaxle driveshafts? I would hate to put it in without balancing since it had a slight vibration around 2700 RPM. Since the old couplings weren't missing any rubber chunks, it is likely to vibrate again if not balanced...
