        Garagistic is really good at releasing brand new shit a day after I place my order.

        Reinforcement plate for the control arm/ball joint spot. I will probably end up buying it because I have all my shit out of the car already. And I'm a sucker, what can I say

          Does that spot usually crack? I don't recall seeing anyone having issues at that point. You would think the control arm would break before that cracks lol

            Exactly my thoughts. Maybe in extreme applications of rage drifting and or fuckery (AKA you crash into a curb) it would crack

                I welded in in reinforcements from akg to fix the torn bolt hole for the engine mount, my right side was ripped through. Seems like the ball joint mount is sturdy though.

                  They will have a weld-in license plate mount reinforcement soon. My license plate mounts tore out during some intense Togue races last month in Kyoto

                          Reinforcements are welded in fb2f89f5aa33df8941e1626481051445.jpg

                          Most likely won't be doing the garagistic control arm reinforcements as it seems like massive overkill

                          Next up clean up the diff, por-15 everything

                                  Ohhhhhhhh makes sense now.

                                  Yeah, I most likely won't be doing them. It seems like a lot of heat to put into 28 year old 'not-that-thick' steel. I honestly have never heard of a subframe failing there either

                                    Got out and cleaned everything up tonight. Also removed all of the bushings that were left (trailing arms and diff) cacf06547200816f545114b6c6e76217.jpg

                                    Also got the rear hardlines removed from the union. Here's the one that was semi crushed 4da483c43a398c76ab58b97051904699.jpg

                                    e75363a014b199934804a140b90cab63.jpg

                                    And the other shitty one

                                    Tore apart the struts I bought from Ray. If you ever want to watch a half inch socket/wrench fly across the room and dent drywall don't use a spring compressor. It was pretty awesome to see all the shit fly into the wall. The front struts are what I'll be using for my coil overs. They are actually super clean (pics show them as I bought them) the wheel bearings seem to be in great shape. I'll probably just toss them back on the car as is and if one goes I'll replace it then. Kind of a shitty thing is that I had to drill the stupid rotor set screw things out on both hubs, not a huge concern. Just annoying

                                    That's where I left off for the night. I need to finish cleaning up under the car & start ordering some parts!

                                      Gonna get out tonight (hopefully) and get some por-15 on the subframes and trailing arms and diff.

                                      Also gonna try and finish cleaning up under the car.

                                      Still not sure what I should put on the struts/knuckles. I'll have to see how the por-15 goes on elsewhere. Although I'll be waiting to get coils welded up before anything goes on them

                                          Got my diff bushing today. I asked them to draw a trex brushing its teeth. 0fbadc988fc02e198d0fbb4734d09968.jpg
