finally my build thread!!
got the door bars welded in and the window net in i also spent the night sanding the cage and cleanin inside the car so we can paint the cage. i lost the pic of the door bars but here's two.
so now that im primer grey and gloss black the cage is too. spent the day tapin off the car moving the window net in more since it was wrong. i got it primed and the first coat of gloss black forgot to get a pic of it black but heres primed.
ok well me and my friend took time to put the new kmember in friday night we started at 11 and said screw it at 330am.we took an hour to get the broken lug key off. then got the old out and couldnt get the piece off the top of the shock that we needed. so we put the new kmember with the lower a-arms under and started to put it in only to find that all the bolts r wrong for the tubular kmember. so we gave up. i almost lit the car on fire. but i took some time today got it all in and now i hav one nut for the lower ball joint kickin my *** once i get that im done for my break and it wiil be back to a roller. i didnt get enough done im kinda mad because every problem i coulda had with watever i did happened.

got the carpet bout 90% in today need to make a few more cuts and stuff we got the center console set in as well. we didnt get much done since i had to spend my day unbolting a motor to swap into my truck. here's my friend ironing and workin
did a little work last night took the lt1 spindles and brakes off assembled the ls1 spindles and brakes put them on and got the wires in the engine bay cleaned up a bit. also got the right bolts for the kmember so that in there correctly. put on new tie rod ends and went to change the one ball joint but need a press. made a phone call to efi connections looks lik ill be sellin the ltcc and buyin the 24x kit from them. pulled the motor from a truck the other night gotta pull the one outta mine tonight and swap them thats kinda been takin away from car time.
well i got wat will probably be the last of my work for this break done this morning. i most likely wont be home again till school is over in the beginning of may unfortunately my truck took up too much time from me. but the ls1 front brakes and spindles r on and the car is rolling again the stance is kinda sick pics dont show it like it is in person. i came upon a small problem for some reason the front studs arent long enough for the skinny greg weld front wheels so thats another thing ill have to end up changin here's a few pics ill update if i get anything if not i wont be in here for awhile
a few parts came in yesterday. got new valve covers because something was wrong with the other ones they were too short. got lca relocation brackets and a summit 18" glasspack
