    And im back. With updates.

    Ok so first thing is first, this came in

    URL=http://s987.photobucket.com/user/dustinlewist/media/image1_zps6bvamvcv.jpg.html][/URL]

    Next step was to install the new Racing Beat Sway bar links that came in. And well as you can see on the coilover sleeve, they didn't really work out too well with the camber..



    After minimal thinking and no no hesitation, the sway bar was deleted.



    At this point I knew the kit was on the way, so I began to disassemble the car and get it ready for the kit once it arrived. It was the first time I had the rear bumper off the car since I have owned it, but it came off with a little help from Lisa. ∩(✿︶▽︶)∩



    Once the car was ready for the bonersports rep kit, I began to help my old man tear down his current project.



    Then one day some dude in a brown truck with some nice shades dropped this off.



    20 minutes later and let the test fitting begin.





    Now as with all aftermarket parts, especially body parts, I will need to do some trimming and modification, but I am quite confident that it will all turn out right. A couple days after I got the kit in, a good friend of mine texted me and asked if I could lend him a hand. He is going to be competing this year in final bout (so jealous) on team Daring Partners. Some of you clubloose guys night know him as Tom "Get Excite" O'Neil or maybe didd3rson on instagram. Anyway he lives about 4 hours away, but I just couldn't say no to hanging out and helping with the car. He needed assistance in wrapping his car yellow so that it matched all of his teammates for the comp. I was reluctant to help with me having such little experience, but boy am I glad I did. Here are some progress pics of what we did in just one day. He was super happy with the outcome and I was very pleased with the work we had accomplished and I cannot wait to begin wrapping mine now.







    And that is about all I have for now. Sent the sway bar links back into RB today for a refund and plan on having my wheels resealed and tires mounted by this weekend. Also the car should be entering the garage for some pre-wrap prep work and maintenance. I promise I won't wait two more weeks to make an update. I may or may not be showing you guys a sample of the wrap in the next post. Stay tuned and thanks for reading! (~ ̄▽ ̄)~ (~ ̄▽ ̄)~ (~ ̄▽ ̄)~ (~ ̄▽ ̄)~ (~ ̄▽ ̄)~ (~ ̄▽ ̄)~ (~ ̄▽ ̄)~ (~ ̄▽ ̄)~

        Yessir. I also slotted my upper holes on the mount for moar camberz + scene points... but I wouldn't suggest doing it unless you are all in because it is sorta permanent.
        But yes!, make a build thread, I'm always down to see other FC's

              Yeah, My camber/caster plates are all the way in and the crash bolt is all the way back and I'm sitting at like 0 up front. I was going to fill the top hole and just drill a new hole further back so i get hella Cambies/scene points. how much did you grind out? And I will when i get more photos taken! be on the lookout!

                I'll have to see if I can find a picture, if not I'll take one.

                        What happened to Wildman Customs, is that too much work for you to relocate the controls?
