Boogered up the rear axle holes, had to source new ones and start from scratch. Had to wait quite awhile for parts like this,

So that's whats been happening the last few weeks. Sourced all the parts and,

Glad to see it's back up and running. Congrats, and running before summer too.

When I welded the rear top hats together for the coilovers, one wasnt perfectly centered. This led to the passenger side spring always making odd noises under heavy compression. Finding 1.8 inch tophats wasnt the easiest thing to do. Thanks to South West Speed, I sourced a pair, and now the rear sounds and operates like stock.... Other than the higher spring rate!

Also, ever since I did the 2GCDFIS the coil bracket was only held by a single bolt. Finally, it is properly hard mounted. And nice and level, unlike before.

And for fun....

Almost forgot, painted the rear bumper....

A local photographer was taken with the 'ole FB at the Dayton Cars and Coffee. This resulted in some high quality photography!

Big BIG thanks to Trapspeed photography! I love their work!
