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

      I was not disappointed.

      Also painting sway bars because I'm bored

        Sways all dried and put in the trunk for now. Got the 1st coat of POR-15 on the front & rear subframe, rear trailing arms, subframe plates & lollipops. Will most likely put two more coats on everything eventually (still need to do the opposite sides of them)

          This stuff is a pain in the ass and I'm glad I'm done

          Next step is ordering parts

                Looks good!  My front subframe and other stuff will be getting this treatment soon.  What's up with the coil overs?

                  Got the topcoats on all the stuff today. Went with a gloss enamel. Put a shit load on it. Also under coated my car, it probably won't dry correctly. Also took the rack "apart"

                  It looked dicked at first, but it was fine after I cleaned it up. Added some grease on the teeth, took the ps block off back off, drained the crap, added more crap, worked the rack back and forth to get the excess out then put the delete plate back on ff812ae590c0ff9ca26f581a2e84a55e.jpgf0b4a459eb82928980bb7597ecf2edfa.jpg51e5458720b7c1ecc1abce04a62c82e1.jpg784147839311a06df4edd5219264b31e.jpg

                  Getting the struts ready for coils.

                  Also whoever put the inner tierods in hulk-moded them. Vice grips + hammer + swearing and they barely came off. Lock plates were all farked by whoever installed them. It sucked

                  Also aligned my door and fender so it didn't look all borked

                  41742444f3922c3c6db3853a5fb960a6.jpg

                  Also found some evidence of assholes in an air box(not my vehicle)...After I found acorns in my glovebox and kick panel.

                  Set a bunch of traps and left out some coolant for them. I hate rodents

                      Son, I am disappoint.

                      Didnt mask the hardware, diff tag, or the vent tube

                      Good luck getting "Best In Show" this year

                        I could sand it off maybe. I didn't clean up the hardware so it's not going to stick well anyways.

                        Couldn't read the diff tag either

                        Oh

                        And it'll be under the car

                        So

                          Isn't that way more work than taping it off in the first place? [emoji14]

                            Compared to taping off individual bolts a vent tube and a diff tag?

                            What was the oem color the bolts should be?

                                  "Why buy new when slightly used will do?"

                                  Unmasked bolts are like unfolded side mirrors during proper winter storage mode.

                                  You should always mask your bolt

                                    Got all the bushings in

                                    That's pretty much it

                                    Found out I'll need to move the union a tad

                                      well it happened, ordered about $1650 worth of crap tonight for it. (will get about $160 back in core)

                                      Still remaining to buy:

                                      coil overs

                                      brake pads & fluid (still on the fence about pads)

                                      front stainless brake lines
