So I had a full plate this weekend for work to do on the FB. I needed new rear pads, a new passenger front strut, and to rebuild my OMP. I started the work with the OMP rebuild:

Here it is in the car:

New gasket and long line:



Then I dug into the rear brake pads (Center = new, outside = drivers rear):

Then the real *****: the strut:

After fighting for about 4 hours, here it is:

Final greasy picture:



I then decided to take care of one nagging flaw with my wheels: a mis-matched center cap:



I spray-painted it flat black (didn't get a shot of it).

I then started polishing my 15x7 Enkei 92's. (sorry about the flash)







No flash:

Nice job man

Where is the adjuster for the illuminas?

Last two pics:





That little bit of polishing took me 45 minutes of scrubbing by hand. I will be picking up a Mother's PowerBall tomorrow on my way home from work so I don't have to destroy my elbows polishing.

too bad you didn't get to do the bushings while you had everything apart

You can't adjust it with an allen wrench?


First things first: I need hub-centric rings for my Enkeis (nasty vibration).

I'll probably do bushings mid/end of July, or early August.
