        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

          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

                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

                Eat

                Shit

                  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

                                          I've got a stance coilover/camber plate setup already welded up ready to bolt on. I also have a RX7 BBK that I could include.
