Did you get the crossmember for the torsion bars in the rear of the car frame? Don't do priming and painting until that part is put in, save a whole lot or rework. The rest of it looks real good, great fit and all that, sturdy if I do say so myself. In your fourth picture from the top you can see the hex of the torsion bar at the lower control arm. About 18-24 inches behind that is a cross brace. If you want to keep it, you can, simply cut a hole or notch it to clear the torsion bar by half an inch all the way around. The torsion bar twists but doesn't move up, down, or to the side, so it just needs enough clearance to keep from having road debris gather around it if you do a tube for it to pass through, but quite truthfully, unless the body attaches to this crossmember, simply remove it and replace it with the rear torsion bar support. When you get it, you may find it needing a little more structural support, I believe it is part of the unitbody construction of the car and not part of the front suspension you got as the donor.
Good work, by the way.
