On coming weekend I am going to start my work. Things in to do list are

 

1. Power Steering installation (from AE86)

2. Lower Control Arm Bushes

3. Ball Joints & Bushes

4. front & back shocks replacement + springs

5. New Tie Rod Ends, New boots

6. Front Caster bar bushes

7. Front Swar bar bushes

 

Beside that i am feeling there is slight blow in engine. so i am going to replace piston rings, valves and gasket.

That's not rust... That's a hole!

You are right its a hole, but rust is on inner quarter wheel house. which is quite annoying. still hope for the best.
