Hello everyone! I've been out of the game with my bus for some time....(haven't touched it in a while Anxious )

Here is what I got:

64 - Blue Bus 15 window

Parts I have purchased over the last couple years without installing Sad :

Front
CB narrowed beam(narrowed 4")
flipped tie rods
944 brakes

Rear
68 trans long axle
Busboy spring kit
944 brakes

I also have purchased 17x7 and 17x8.5 Boxter wheels that I would love to put on my ride.

I guess my questions are:

Do I have all the parts to make this work?
Anything that I'm missing?
Is there a special kit I need to make the brakes adapt correctly?
Any suggestions?
Or things I should consider?

Any help would be appreciated. Laughing
