Well, it's been quite a while since I've updated the thread.

My diff should be ready to be picked up on Tuesday, after which I'll be able to finish everything on the rear. I tackled the fuel system this weekend and managed to get it nearly finished. I added AN fittings to my extra fuel pump hanger and adapted the hard lines to AN fittings. I will have to wait until I get the motor in the car to see what I need to make the final connections.

The suspension is complete, with the Stance coilovers installed, the Super Pro bushings and the Suspension Techniques sway bars. I also threw some Mazdatrix adjustable end links in there. I was able to get my FC steering rack (power steering deleted, properly) mounted and secured with modified clamps.

I got the motor paint finished and all of the other components I wanted to paint. I like it.

I can't wait to get the motor in this week, along with the diff, and finally get the car down on all fours.

Yup, got them from J-Auto.

Got the topside of the hood molded last night. Just need to do the underside.

Yesterday I reinstalled the rear suspension, installed a 929 master cylinder, bled the brakes, and installed the oil coolers. Then I got to work on the v-mount.

It's not exactly how I want it, but it'll do until I get it back to the states.

I also welded the bung for the wideband O2.

I had to get all of my welding done so the movers can pack up my welder.
