[T3] weekend plans

["timothy kuehn" <keen_tj@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>G'day all.

Plan on replacing my front beam this weekend.  Found a donor car with front 
end in GREAT shape, all suspension & steering parts happy and tight, 
everything must've been replaced shortly before the car got wrecked.  My 
current front end is a menace.  So I'm thinking of just swapping the whole 
assembly, steering & all, essentially everything between the wheels.

Love to hear from anyone who's done this recently - what'll I need to look 
out for?  What ONE tool will I not discover I need 'til I'm elbow-deep?  
Special precautions for getting torsion arms in place?

So very excited at the prospect of a decent, solid, safe front end again.
