Good looking build man, i sure hope you have something else supporting the car other than the floor jack like in the above picture...i'd hate to see a car come down and sqaush a mofo

haha! there are three jacks under there and only the front of the car is lifted. it's all good.

Fixed the rear motor mount, one of the bolts was broken off in the subframe. I also degreased and painted the engine bay. Im waiting for the clutch to show up from UPS. Then Ill get the motor/trans in. I also windo-welded all my mounts.

Did you do the bearings along with the build?

The ACT 2600 kit from dsmparts.com and they are taking forever to ship it.

Did you do the bearings along with the build?

I did replace the front wheel bearings, along with lower ball joints and control arm bushings.

Nice, if I knew the control arm bushings were bad at the time I ordered the ball joints online, I would have ordered complete control arms. It would have been more cost effective than buying the bushing kit and ball joints separately.

Thanks, most people say its a pain in the ass because they dont even know how to do it at all. It didnt take me long at all on a hydraulic press, pretty easy actually. I hoping on getting it running this week, once my clutch shows up.
