Finally installed my adjustable RUCA's and Toe arms tonight, along with my wheels!





no spacers, no alignment. Im very happy with how flush the wheels sit.


ignore the tweaked bumper...now that the car is almost on the road, i can focus on body work.

Thanks man! They're actually neon yellow, but my cell camera sucks.

Finally swapped the welded diff out for a vlsd tonigh, and got the front wheels on. Im super stoked with how its looks! It just needs an alignment something fierce.

*UPDATE*
I'm not gonna say I have a horseshoe up my ass,because if I did,this wouldn't have happened...I may very well have a shoe off one of those mini-horses in my peehole though.

I started tearing the car down today.The culprit for the oil?The oil filter gasket.For shits and giggles,I tried to start the car when unloading it.It started right up,but was puking oil,so I killed it.The puddle of oil was right below the filter,so I grabbed it and was able to turn it about a half turn.I spun it back off,and the gasket was almost doubled over on itself.I'm not sure if maybe I didn't put enough oil on the gasket and maybe it "grabbed" the block when I installed it,stretching the gasket.Maybe that led to it eventually blowing out that section?I'm very anal about the prep of the car,and I installed this filter the day before the event(last sunday),and I distinctly remember tightening it corretcly.There was still almost one quart of oil left in the pan,so I dumped over 4.5 quarts on the track.The coolant I'd seen was from a hose that got pinched and busted from the impact.

I know this was a freak deal,but I'm still going to start safety wiring the filter.
Oil filter(gasket has returned to it's normal position:


The front camber readings are about .5 degrees shifted to the side,so the shock towers aren't bent too badly.From the shock towers forward the ends of the frame spars are bent pretty badly.I've talked to several body guys,and they've all said this is easily fixed by a frame shop.I'll be taking it next week to be fixed.Then I'll throw on the new body panels and get my ghetto paint job on.

******BTW-I need a bumper support bar,and headlights if anybody has any of that for sale.****

Body panels off:


Pile of junk:
