funniest part was when i was outside and you said "hey john, can you take a picture of me planking?" i had a confused look on my face, but then iĀ realizedĀ that it was earl who asked the question.

I got another little chunk of work done yesterday. I wanted to smooth out all of the old bracket mounting points. I grabbed a 120 grit flap wheel and went to town.
I then got most of the seam sealer finally removed from the corners. Some of it is still in that very tight corner. I think I'll need to use a pick to get that out.
I then put the subframe bushings in.
I went to put the trailing arm bushings in and ran into a snag. I got the end with the sleeve pressed in with the help of a hammer, but I could not get the other end to come in any farther than pictured=( I didn't happen to have a c clamp handy, so I will be using one today to get them fully seated.
I will be going to the shop today after work, and also on Sunday. I'll post the updates Monday=)

nice!

excited to see this thing in one piece!

comfort and performance can co-exist. Just because something stiffer exists doesn't necessarily make it better Ā or higher performance. The main goal is to keep the trailing arms from going toe-out under braking and decel. You would have to be tracking the car pretty hard / competitively to complain about toe-out problems with good stock bushings.

What it really needs is to be finished.
fixed it for you!!
