Great vid - used the same one to replace the bearings on my IX. Replaced the splash/heat shields too as you're doing here.

Keep up the great work

Thanks! Figured the same one of those "While I'm in there type things". The splash guards will compliment the rims and new rotors haha.

Since my hubs were laying around I decided to see what it would look like with the studs poking through... Gave the rear hubs a nice little cleaning while i was at it.











End result on the basketweaves instead of donut...

Finally had some free time off work to start putting things back together.. Here it goes. Super hyped on how this is coming together can't wait to throw this thing around.

Disregard my messy room and plywood floors :D

Decided to go ahead and grab my mallet.. Forgot that I don't own a pair of circlip pliers so gonna have to cop some...

So much win! I'm sorry if you answered this before, but what textured paint did you use on your strut housings?

Nothing textured; just flame proof VHT black for exhaust that I had it laying around.

Since the harbor freight tool is cheap I had to improvise and make another one for $6 to push the hubs back in.

Did you also use the flame proof paint on the intake manifold and gasket?
