Kept myself busy by changing a couple of parts on my car over the weekend..
And so it begins with disassembly:
Where did the rear suspension go?
Remove the subframe to get the lower control arm bolts out on the drivers side?? I don't think so - time for death by Sawzall:
Why not do the intake while I am at it..
Tons of carbon built up over the years:
Clean and prep for powdercoat:
Junkyard special Focus brake upgrade:
After some bead blasting
Might as well do the bearings at the same time:
Time to fab up and weld some brackets for sway bar:
Swap the struts/springs (nice to have a spring compressor handy):
I knew these ratchets were good for something:
Finally reassembly time - The parts..
Koni Sport Kit:
Slight difference in height:
Roush Bar and custom end links (to those without a welder - I would not advise the tall energy suspension mounts):
Powdercoated brakes and knuckles:
New bearings:
Everything back on the car:
Powdercoated and turned junkyard rotors look good as new (aside from the overnight rust):
Stainless Goodridge lines:
Caliper close-up and speed bleeders:
The rear - still working on machining up brackets to use the front rotors on the rear this week hence the rusty rotor and pads:
Finish up the intake (After 6 cans of STP TB Cleaner)
And several cases of beer and 2 days later - the car all done (now time to wax after the winter season..):
I'll have to get some better shots of the complete car in the next couple of days.
Now onto next project (some assembly required):
