Anyways here is a the newest update.
Got some more upgraded parts:
1.)Steering Box Reinforcement
2.) New Exhaust Hangers.
3.) H&R 5mm Spacers




I actually found the spacers on a car at the yard! They were a little rusty when I found them but I hit them with a wire wheel and removed pretty much all the surface rust. Then sprayed them with a clear coat some they won't start rusting again.



Installation:



Fitment Before Spacers:

Driver Side:


Passenger Side:



After Spacers Installed:

Driver Side:


Passenger Side:



I still want to order before getting the corner balancing done:
1.) Sway Bar Reinforcements
2.) Ireland Engineering Rear Camber Kit (mainly this)

Some of peopler were wondering what I used the paint my calipers and I probably sprayed about 5 coats on each Caliper.


So I was able to fix the oil leak. It was the oil pressure sensor. I knew that was the problem I was just to lazy to change it until now! Here are pictures of the culprit!

Old vs. New

Installed:

I also got a 140v Hobart Handler Welder for christmas: I went and bought the welding cart but still need to buy the Argon.


Its go time now!

One day I had tried to unlock my car from the passenger side but wasn't able to lock it either. When I would drive I would here somethings rattling in the door. When I took a second to look at what it was I found this. Glad it was an easy fix.

Installed a new rubber piece:




While I had it opened up I might as well Lubricate all the lock mechanisms and window rails.




Before, I installed my new door panels, I decided to make a plastic sheeting so no water could damage the door cards which are made of a cardboard like material. Since the door panels have tweeter in them I needed to run some wire to them.

Running all the wiring to the doors. I really **** doing wiring!


Needed to solder all the wires together:




Solders the wires and forgot to put the shrink wrap on this one! :evil:

Quick Fix:


Wrapped them up with some electrical tape and then shrink wrap:





Materials for installation of speakers and door panels.

Seems as if I might have bought to much! haha Good thing it was only about $10 for all this material!




Sprayed the 3m adhesive all over the door and the plastic sheeting:




They aren't perfect but I am was pretty happy with the result. I still need to do some final trimming when the door cards and panels are installed.


Finally after all that work I get to install the door panels! Here is the easy part or at least thats what I first thought..
Installation of the door caps:



Now the door cards: SOOO PRETTY!!



Before Installing the rest of the panels needed to put some new clips and clean them up a little:




Installed:



I thought I would be able to finished and put the door handles on but was able to because of these few problems..caused by previous owners. (I really tired of fixing his fuck ups!)



I am sure I will find a way to make it work some time today, but that all for now thanks for looking!

I have a Pearl Export kit black with black hardware. It's the kit Joey Jordison made his after I already bought it haha I have Zildian K Customs and I use Evans tom heads and a Remo snare head and I use a DW 5000 double pedal. I've been playing 13 years. I don't get to play as much as I used to either but I try to when I get a chance. It's still the best stress reliever I know!

[rmehrIV]

Man there's a lot of great stuff in here! Love the interior work. Also, was that a Pearl Export kit I spotted?? I play drums so it immediately caught my eye haha

Thanks, man. No, I wish it was a Pearl drum set. It's actually a Fender drum set. I later swapped to Remo heads and the symbols to Zildgians. Also got a SP double bass pedal. I don't play as much as a use to ever since I quit drum line and it isn't the best drum set but sure is fun! Cool have you been playing for a long time?

So this next update really isn't much. The past couple of weeks I have been pretty busy finishing up school and switching jobs from being a server to working for Jason (vwgti16vt) at his shop called Parts Score. Now that I am out of school for a month, and with my new job at the shop I don't work on weekends any more! So now I will have a lot more free time to finish up the car!

The Shop:


So I took a little break from studying a decided to make a list of things that still need to be done to the car. I decided I should probably stop because as the list kept growing more and more...the more bummed I became:


Seem as if my car doesn't like the cold because I came out this puddle of power steering...This is going to be a pain to clean up!


So later that day I decided to change my oil (Not anything exciting) and look around for that power steering leak. I was hoping that it would be a loose hose but of coarse it can't ever be that easy with this car! Turns out it could be a couple of things loose hose, crush washer, probably the biggest thing is the o-ring between the master cylinder and brake booster is toast.

Steering Box:

Master Cylinder and Brake Booster:

One of the Hoses:

Merry Christmas too myself! haha
