Nothing all that amazing, but I like the suspense.

So a lot has been done. It has become apparent I like to suffer. Anyways here is what I did today:

No pictures as of now so basically a boring post.

1. Finished installing the diff mounts. Had to scrape the rubber off the top portion of the mounts that isn't used with the poly ones. Got lucky and it literally just peeled off.

2. Mounted diff to sub frame.

3. Installed remaining control arms.

4. Installed axles/spindles.

5. Mounted subframe to vehicle

6. Reconnected the ABS sensors.

7. Reconnected brake lines.

8. Installed brakes.

9. Installed coilovers. *question regarding this at bottom*

10. Installed final bushings on FUCL.

11. Installed all the control arms in the front.

**I forgot to put that spacer that is like a plastic film on the passenger side coilover, is this going to end the world?**


Also ordered all new shock bolts, 1 new RLCA bolt, and 2 spacers for the moog tie rods. This weekend I will also be picking up some very expensive FM uprated hubs. Figured I don't really want to ever have to do it again, so going with some good stuff. I now have invested... too much money in this car to ever think about getting rid of it.
