More small and not so small victories today...
My mechanic got the 4 new Rancho 5000 heavy duty shocks and severe duty front brake pads installed today. The shocks that were on it were indeed the original ones. The fronts were soaked from leaking. The backs were dry but you could pull them in and out easily by hand. These shocks were on sale for $45 each and are supposed to be top of the line. I also had him put on new rubber front brake lines since these had seen better days. They weren't leaking yet but they were pretty degraded.

AFTER
I have seen pics of Falcons and Horizons with the side door cards cut out which makes for a lot of extra storage space. I set out to do that to mine today. I'm surprised they didn't do it at the factory?! I'm also surprised that the side doors have ZERO insulation in them. I presume the rear doors and walls are the same. I think I will use rubberized undercoating to seal and coat the inside of the cubbies.
I need to get some trim to go around the wood edge.
