Well I'll have pics later tonight I started to rewire the entire engine bay/front end and tucking it all (so ha haters it is getting done).

But my objective now while I wait for my dad to come over and change the rad support with me in a few weeks. So whats my project till then you ask? simple I'm rebuilding the subframe with new bushings, upper control arms and ball joints.

I will be ATTEMPTING to install family man's poly front bushings, and poly bushings for the sub frame bushings, and if theres time... solid metal mounts for the engine/tranny

I want alot of rigidity in my front end hopefully this will give me it

Wouldnt that be too rigid and cause more stress on the motor?

what are you guys saying will cause stress on the chassis? the solid engine mounts? I can assure you someone else whose active on these boards has those installed and doesn't complain.

Many other cars use solid engine mounts and it just makes more vibration.

uploading pics and 2 videos for ya'll to get a laugh

On to the pics...(stupid photobucket put them in reverse order...)

that stupid nut holding the sway bar on is kicking my ass... the whole thing just spins. Sr5guy this is what my last question was so I can remove my addco bar

My driver side was all jacked up and caused issues being removed... seems I'll be buying new one of whatever those balljoints are...part number anyone?



Lots of wiring is missing its protector...

Stupid a/c lines that I HAVE to replace cause they were broken and hidden by previous owner... guess I'll have a perfect a/c system now





this is where it sits as of now, all I need shipped to me is a clutch *cough blackend cough* and I can then install the drivetrain and move my car again I'm just ready to see this moving again once I get some stuff sorted out.
kazuu's cover looks way better to me you still see details on his.

Willie one issue with ur comment, his is fake, mines real. His is paint on carbon fiber look, mines real carbon fiber lol. There's a reason its smoothed, cause it would trap air bubbles in the grooves, but I like the smoothness
