    The front upper shock mounts look pretty bad. The rear lower shock mounts look weak too. The rear springs must make weird noises in those spring buckets. I don't know I never drove one. All things I am changing. Shocks are blown and not rebuildable, all shocks and springs are getting replaced.

    I found an entire Mirage body for sale in Texas. This picture is in Texas. Paid for it and shipped it here. I thought I might make a rear body hatch. Much better to buy one, countless hours saved.

    Front of car is white, rear is yellow.
    I sold some duplicate parts I did not need.
    I kept 2 windshields, 2 upper doors, and 2 T bars.

    The upper doors I might finish with 1 set with windows, 1 set with no windows.
