Raising the subframe just basically slightly helps correct the rear lowered suspension geometry, but I have the welded adjusters anyway. Really comes down to wanting it solid mounted. The cage ti es into the stud locations, so why not use them even more? :D

Working on mhw copy tails, so far 4 lights have been used here. Ill be sacrificing another for that red lens that I accidentally broke out.

I might get my hub tomorrow. We'll see.

So far on the tails...



Just need to lightly tint the lens' inside with vht nite shades, except the first red section next to the reverse light.

Put the switches back in my dash and am starting to work out the wiring with them.

Got the nite shades delivered to me at the shop, so the lights are done except gluing the lenses back in... Check out the lighting forum thread DIY MHWs for more pictures of along the way.
Siiick...

Still waiting on my wilwood parts themselves for the front brakes, all of my hard lines for the rear and probably something else...

I got a box from Turner with their delrin rear diff bushing, and while I was at it, stock blank ate rear rotors and axxis ult/pbr ceramic pads. I picked up some 3M emblem adhesive stuff that should do the job well sealing the lights back up. I've got some work to do at home though before a whole lot more progress shows up.

Got this today..

As much as I hate to, it looks like I need to modify my qrs for my horn ground. Will tap a very small hole in the piece on the side of the steering wheel to terminate the ground side of the horn button. So this is where it stays until I get a 4-40 tap and a really really short screw..

[Justin B]

Some new progress..
I got my steering linkage piece in place and the hub/qrs mounted proper. I also used a 4-40 1/4" screw and two #8 washers to ground the horn inside the steering wheel piece through the hub.
Its near the top.


Antenna hole is patched up


..and 25 6-32 1/2" screws with nylocks and #8 washers on each side holding the sunroof panel in. the roof is good enough. I got it a lot closer since the pictures from Jeremy.

Here's a shot from the top


Painted the trunk


Welded two small tabs on for the dash mounting and drilled holes to through bolt. I will locate the top in the middle too. Painted the door x's and whatever I could find to touch up inside the car.
