Re: My 1988 Iroc-Z Convertible Restoration

Hi, thanks. Yes all of the suspension is brand new front and rear including all bushings. Also just about every nut and bolt is powder coated. No the steering column is original. The bridge, I dont know what that is.

Thank you! I used 3M Fine Polish, the purple bottle. Just buffed them out, no sanding.
