The rebuild continues. Pictures

I have been putting this off for some time and today after a long drive with my father (uggg long story) I took out some energy on the FD. I tore apart the whole front suspension to figure out what I bent/broke.

I will let the picture speak for them self:

Start of day:


Whole front suspension torn off.


Bent lower passenger control arm front mount. God damn that was a bitch to get out.


Upper control arm front mount bent.



Better shot.


What it should look like:


Engine bay pretty torn apart.


Underside of car. PS rack is now tied up thankfully.

Backwards into a ditch at 40 then back out after hitting a box of wire staples. Sucked but you live and learn and rebuild.

Well I dont have the old wreck pictures on this PC sadly. But heres some before and after. you see I completly ripped the front suspension and subframe off the car. After reinstalling new parts I got it back to riding flat on the ground. A 4 wheel allignment is next.

Heres a bad before picture. You can see how badly bent inwards and forwards the tire is.


Heres today work, Ill get better pictures tommorow, but not shabby.

That sucks, i guess i'm really never getting my refund for the turbo that i bought from you. The upper control arm mounts are pretty weak, you can see them flex when you take the bolts out. After you have put everything back together, put all the ecentrics facing upwards. All the corners should look pretty even, if not you might have bigger problems. But you wont know untill you get an wheel alignment.
