He will be delivering it on Tuesday, its all good. I just have to wait for the plug wires and Brass plug.

I got the axles in, took me 20 minutes and I took my time. When I did the moser in RedScreaminZ's car it was such a Pain in the ***. With the E brake hardware. I turned it down so there wasnt any pre-load. put the axle in the rear, then took a small pry bar and pushed up on the ebrake ring then pulled toward me and over the axle hub and studs, then put the T-bolts in with the hardware. I also had to grind on the ABS sensor due to the axles but its all together.

I would like to get out there tommorrow to clean up and organize the tools. Then see what I need to get the cat back in place.

Snow blowing took forever today im cold, im going to eat.

LOL sound like a girl.


JL, sorry I didnt call- I just havent been anywhere near that area of the state lately. Its like a 25+ minute drive from my house, and Ive been working longer than my shifts at work, so Im quite beat as well.


If possible, Ill just drop off the lugs @ BSM's house on tuesday when I come with the goods.

I got a little more done. Mocked the Corsa up. Since it was made for the LT1, most of the hangers are the same and in similar places, just not exact. I zip tie everything up. The driver side tip looks perfect where the passanger side looks a little tweaked. I will have to get that fixed.

Over all I think it will do the job. Tuesday the Headers go in and the y pipe gets mocked up.. Then most likely wednesday the rear end bolts in. Also other minor stuff like the fluids, brakes, filters, and make sure the exhaust is secure.
