Finally scored a foglight switch blank=)

Finally got around to sandblasting my swaybars and getting them powdercoated. I also did the dipstick tube while I was at it.

Tackled a few things this weekend.

My passenger side door handle was hanging up on its frame like my drivers side so I removed it and remedied that.

I also removed the old Butyl tape from both doors. What a painstaking thing to do...





I also removed my brake pedal and added the oilite bronze bushings






The modified brake pedal went in after that as well.

I went to install the rabbit master cylinder so that I can bend up my front brake lines but I ran into an issue. The rear of the master fouls my firewall when it goes through my booster delete plate. I need to either remove some material from the firewall or source a porsche master that I know fits without any modification. I don't really want to take a dremel to the firewall but I may have to=/

Can't wait to see this done man

[Earl]

Putzed on this a bit yesterday


Installed the handle trim with new gaskets


Installed the rear sway bar. I just aired the car up and installed it. I got my excercise for the day trying to get the brackets situated to bolt them on=P

Looking good Earl. Can't be much more left to do?

[Earl]

In reality there isn't but I need to hunker down and get it done haha

[Earl]

Didn't realize it's been so long without an update. I have been doing little things here and there. Started on extending the wiring harness for the front (headlights, radiator sensors, etc.)

I also started installing all of the new rubber trim/mouldings that I ordered.

I ended up finding a diff cover without any broken fins and installed that yesterday. I painted it and installed new drain plugs while I was at it. I also got an Ireland Engineering rear diff mount instead of using the Silver Project one in my old cover.









I need to get new washers, a speed sensor bracket, and a diff mount bolt because they ended up getting corroded when I prepped my diff with the KBS BLAST for the KBS Rust Seal.

You can also see the passenger trailing arm paint was damaged when I installed the subframe. I sanded that down and primed it yesterday. I will be painting it again today.

I properly connected the door brakes and installed new boots/covers now too.





I also have some goodies that I have been waiting on coming so progress should pick back up=)

You go earl

[philippeoliviergiguere]

Wow can't believe this is the first time I see this, Incredible built, been threw all the 37 pages and I'm seriously amazed by the amount of effort you put into it. Keep it up man!

[kennynguyen]

Any updates? If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the door brake boot/covers from?

[Earl]

You can get them new=) The part number is 51218122579.

Nothing new. Finally getting back to work on it after fixing up a coupe I bought to replace my e34. That got backed into and totalled a few months ago. The coupe needed a full front suspension refresh and some other maintenance. I'll post some pics of that soon

[kennynguyen]

Thanks! Sorry to hear about that. Glad you're back at it though, definitely sub'd for more.
