Finally starting a project

Update

 

So my good friend Greg, the gergwheel, whom I am forever in debt to, helped me get the car over to his lift to work on Max. So far we have: Replaced the inner and outer tie rods, installed Moog ball joints, new struts, caster camber plates and the 5 lug swap is complete on the front. We also installed rear shocks, took down the very stock, old exhaust (it fell off practically), installed poly bushings on the transmission and pulled the drive shaft.

Next up to install the aluminum driveshaft, strut brace, rear sway bar, axles and distributor. Then Max should kick some ass at my next Mid Ohio/Nelson Ledges visit.

 

I'll have pictures next time I visit.

Then Max will get be all ready to get bitch smacked by a stock Golf R at my next Mid Ohio/Nelson Ledges visit.

 

 

Fixed

 

And now I'll be on the look out for your shady actions such as late point bys in the rain. :fuuuu:

Sad update: Me, Greg and a friend were working on the car this week and after pulling the axles and pumpkin cover we found out that the 0n3 axles won't fit. They're about a half inch away from the C clips groove on the inside. It's because I'm fortunate enough to have a 7.5 rear end. Also both spider gears were missing teeth and the posi clutches are completely shot. Junk

 

I have been shopping yards and forums the last few days and found an 8.8 rear with 4.10 gears, trac-loc, 5 lug axles and disc brakes. I'll be grabbing it here in a few days. Maybe in a week or two it will be done.

I don't want you giving up a weekend day to assist me. Plus I'm usually with Amber during the weekend. I've got what should be the last of the parts on their way this week and will hopefully have this thing driving for my birthday August 3rd. Edited by Miller

Screw 7 inch rear-ends. Almost everything in it was toast.

New rear is in. I've been stuck for a few weeks removing the lower control arm on the car. The bolts welded themselves into the bushing sleeves. It took an immense amount of beating, heating and bending to get them loose. I have the 8.8 hung and prothane, polyurethane bushings from front to back of the car. Should handle great.

Too lazy to post pictures. Axles in, pumpkins sealed. Fuel lines are run. Exhaust is mounted. Drive shafts on and rear sway bar/end links are in. Still need to turn it over and fix a seized part on the caliper.

I said I didn't want you working on a car on your weekend. :fa:

 

Seriously, if you ever need help, just let me know. Especially since we will be neighbors. I'll welcome you to the neighborhood with an intro TPing within the first week...
