Update 3

Posted On December 29, 2015

Holidays have been a bit of a busy away from the car! Hoping to get back on schedule after the new year.

I did however get a few things done:

  • Front end is fully assembled minus front sway bar I’m still deciding if I want to install one or not.
    • FullSizeRender(6) FullSizeRender(5)
  • Axles are assembled
    • See drivetrain section for more detail. This was a bit more difficult tell I found the hose clap trick.

  • Floor pan had to be removed. I jumped the gun and forgot to weld in seat brackets and harness mounts.
    • Waiting on seat mounts to come in before I can get to welding.
    • Mounting plates had there quality inspection by boost.

  • Installed Brake master cylinder.
    • I recommend using longer bolts for install. Factory five hardware seems far to short.

  • Notice my intake pipe had a rip in the section that clamps onto the turbo. Removed the old hose in preparation for when my new hose arrives. I found that cutting out the old one was far more easy versus trying to take it out as one
