        So we finished the pedal/booster/master cylinder. It actually was not to difficult. Pretty much modified the brake pedal box, pedal and added a rod end to the hydroboost actuating arm. Took a few hours. All that is left is just finishing work...







        The rest of brake system will be composed of the OEM ABS unit, all new fittings, and stainless steel aeroquip AQP line will replace the factory hard lines.

            Yes and no. Lines will be hidden where possible. We are trying to keep the engine bay as clean ass possible. Computers, fuse box, etc are ran through the fire wall and housed in the upper portion of the glove box.

                            Got another shipment in...

                            Exhaust in a box. 2.5" pipe, X-pipe, Magnaflow Muffler. I wish it came ready to be installed...lol



                            So here is my new brake system. -3 Aeroquip PTFE line, Steel fittings. Again, I wish it came ready to be instlaled...



                            New fan. 14" rated at 2250cfm??? I seriously doubt it but who knows.



                            New Axles!!!



                            -12 fittings and hose. -12 hose ends will be welded on to my water pump and 90* fittings will shoot the hot water to the rear. I hate hose clamps!!



                            Just started mocking up fittings...







                            Here is the rear T-fitting for the rear lines...

                              Here are some random pics of the rear suspension. Nothing is more fun than reinstalling new parts. Makes things MUCH easier and cleaner..











                              Yes, somehow during ALL my planning I TOTALLY forgot to install a rear camber kit. Im already paying for it with some negative camber and a bit of toe-in on the rear wheels. Im too damn lazy to remove it the rear subframe and install the kit. So Im going to complete the car, drive it and take a day to drop the rear and burn them in....
