The most inexpensive pair of front strut housings I've seen and they're surprisingly clean for a car in this region (NY).

I like the premise of this thread ;D

No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

Those gland nuts will come out. First soak down with PB blaster for a week.
The key is to have a helper hold the strut on an anvil, vice or other chunk of iron. Work around the perimeter of the top of the tube with a larger sized punch. Keep going round and round to get the threads loosened up. Use a pipe wrench on the gland nut or even some mongo channel locks.
This has worked for me on a dozen pair, maybe more - and yes, I live in the rust belt.

I have a tap that will run them through, and I also happen to know a guy in South Florida hoarding some ix strut tubes that already have good threads in them - just waiting for someone else to purchase custom coilovers :D
