Finally got on summer break (it ends Monday :( ) but got a good amount of work in.
We checked the fuel pumps, for rust in the tank (thankfully no rust and the pumps work), ran new fuel lines and filter, fixed connection for the starter wire. Also with the help once again of our buddy Jason we built a set of coils for the car!!

Now time for tons of pics and a coil over building story haha:

Jason was kind enough to help us out with the this, actually he did the brunt of the work while I took pics and was good company/assistant :-P

Here are the og strut housings


and as per usual, rust......


The rust pretty much welded the gland nut to the housing, so we had no choice but to cut out the rust and weld in new pieces







[/url]





After that the welds were ground down and the ring seats were welded on


then a little paint, a few pics and we're done!


Here's how she sits now
