I've been down since 02 lol. Had my Blue, T66 Jaytech semi-bridge FD almost done before I desided to part out the project and build my current one. I'm done being an FD wrench monkey, soon as I get back into the states I'm hoping right back onto the wiring and fab to get her on the road so I can actually enjoy her while I'm still somewhat young.

Great job man, and the garage is nice. I wish I had room for two also. I am honored to be gracing the lining of such nice FD's. Phil's a good guy and a true rotary enthusiast. Can't wait to see them finished.

Incredible, my cup runneth over.
That's what I call dedication, but man how much you want to bet you're going to get all the parts back in, notice a blemish in one of the parts and want to take everything out again.
What TEINs are those that you took out? HAs? I wonder how the new Apex coilovers will compare?

Bushing are Delrins.. All the aluminum pieces are cleaned and clear coated. But it ain't like Jimlabs polished goodies.. I might do that next time.. when I have a lift.
Hashiriya, I'm already planning to pull everything off... before I even put them on...
TEINS will go on my MB (HAs) and I'm sure the Apexi ones will to be stiff.. But I really don't give a damn as its just going to sit most of its life (i have a daily)... I know, its sad

Nice work

Phil you are the man! Your FD's always come out amazing! -- Hopefully one day I'll be able to have as much fun with my favorite model of car as you do... gotta worry about school first though.

Looking good Phil! When (not if) you buy another fd and need a spot to store it just yell. I'll have a slip cleaned out for you in my garage...lol
I know what you mean by being lazy. I've had my rustang in the garage for over a year and the only thing I've accomplished is pushing the engine hoist around to the front of the car!
