Been slowly building my fun little weekend toy so I figured I'd make a build thread!
How she looked when I bought it from a fellow r3v member
Started stripping it basically the next day I got it home
Engine and trans removed; sold
Cleaned everything down now it was time to work on the front end, removed the entire subframe with all its components
Cleaned and painted
Suspension goodies came in, H&R sport springs and bilstein struts, st swaybars, full poly bushing kit from Garagistic, full reinforcement kit, 90mm drop hats
Everything mounted up, subframe reinforcements welded in along with an e36 steering rack
Now time to work on the rear, car put up on the lift
And everything all dropped out
Everything dissembled
Reinforced, painted, and put back together with new bushings and also a new (used) medium case 3.73 diff
Put back on the car after undercoating area which it covers
Cut rear spare tire hole out, installed Garagistic secondary diff mound
New oem calipers, ceramic pads, drilled/slotted rotors, parking brake kit, parking brake cables
Picked up this beaut, '98 z28, which I'll be ripping its ls1 heart out of shortly
Plenty more done to the car so far, I'll post the rest later on today so the threads all caught up!
