    Great progress man, especially Phillip. Go Phillip!!!! He did a great job welding. A little spotty, but it's going to be smoothed down no matter what.

    great friend of mine hooked me up with a full energy suspension bushing kit awhile ago and I haven't done anything with it yet. But since my car is all apart I figured I'd finally get around to doing something with it.



    I havent installed anything yet and will shortly but damn did I get all upset at my car last night... everything came out like butter until the very last bolt...






    So I lit that bitch on fire!


    and grabbed the cut wheel




    what a pain in the ass now I need to clean out the old bushing still



    and this is the mess it left

    :SCORE: haha, you're seriously making some sick progress with the bay, are you going to paint it a different color and under the hood too? There's a member on here who did that and it's awesome, I'll find a pic h.o

    Here it is:








    You should photoshop it if you can, choose a color that stands out like CRAZY - so crazy that people from the other side of the car show come over to see your car. If you really want to, you can make a pattern like zebra or something (Don't do zebra, it's just an example)
