i tidied up the wiring later on.
i was mocking up the oil cooler lines in this picture to get the oil filter to point at the ground but didnt like how close the hoses where to exhaust manifold. so i rotated the housing back to the stock orientation

Did I miss where you finished your catch can project? How's it working out for you on an NA car? Been thinking about it.

It didn’t work well enough and I removed it.

Where did you get all of those rebuild parts for the axles?!

I buy almost everything from rmeuropean.com

And I bought the redline cv2 grease in the jar form from amazon.
1 jar is more than enough for all 4 cv joints

one trick if you are removing the brake lines is to safety wire the brake pedal to the steering column.
