lol I'm still working on it as time allows. Thinking about pulling the motor out of car #2 this weekend if I can get around to it. Then it'd be pretty hard to sell...

What?!

I wanted to see how this one turned out. Maybe you won't sell. All projects seem to take longer than we want them to.

Started piecing this thing together. Feels good to actually be 'assembling' it finally...




Also got the subframe cleaned, welded and old bushings swapped for the solids as well as the diff bushings. Didn't take and pics of this process.





And here's a quick clip of the donor car idling.


Had something in mind I was going to build for individual camber adjusters and then an idea popped in my head and I found these. For $35 shipped I figured it was worth the chance...



They're adjustable sway bar links for Civics lol!


The threads are bottomed out in this pic. A little trimming and the length will be perfect...


Fit perfect, can't believe it lol!

I did a quick google search on the blox sway bar links . . . It appears that they aren't known for the quality. However if using adjustable sway bar links actually works out it would be very worth it to buy a quality set for $60-$80. Especially considering the stock camber links are around $90 each!
