HUGE WEEKEND!
As parts started showing up I got my lazy ass back into the shed to finish all the bushings and ball joints up front.
I stripped back both wheel wells up front, removed the minimal rust and sprayed them with a kill rust epoxy enamel. Over top of that I sprayed a stone shield paint.
Then I installed the front subframe. Bolted up one lower control arm, Put the BC's up front and a front spindle.
This is the first time in about a year this car has had a wheel fitted and that includes the steering wheel
Now, the car has been minus an engine where it should be for over two years, finally I sat it in the there along with alot of the other goodies I was waiting on
Its a JMfabrications front facing 1g dsm manifold with a 3 inch downpipe with recirc for the mvr44. The turbo is a v-band in and out precision 6466 BB and obviously a magnus.
I am over the moon with this setup and the progress, the fitment for the front facing turbo is mint, the magnus is getting close to the brake booster and I suspect the master cylinder will be in the way but for now I just stand back and smile.
Next up is the rear end and stripping the underside of the car and re-coating like I did up front, pulling the fuel tank and giving that a birthday on top of the diff, transfer case and gearbox.
Thanks for reading, Ben.
