      Dropped the front subframe complete w suspension & steering rack off my old 89 (background).
      Then pulled my exM20/exS52/exS52/exM50/M20 car into the shop to swap in the stock suspension:


      Then pulled the engine and dropped the suspension and pulled out the 993tt brakes:


      No after pics but plan on swapping in stock stuff today (sun) and hopefully prep the other M20 thats going in next Saturday.

        seems like its had some work done before. honing still looks pretty fresh and looks like the cyl ridge has been reamed.

                Today I did:
                1) picked up the intake, valve cover, treehouse racing eyeballs from the powdercoater
                2) prepped my spare strut housings by trimming the brake shield then I installed the Billy sports
                3) Modified my steering coupler to work with the e36 rack
                4) Installed my replicated smoked Hella ellips
                5) Installed the Tree house racing CABs on the new Lemforder control arms.

                Tomorrow= All new steering and front suspension!!!

                  Stared at the rear strut brace that arrived the other day and figured out when I'm actually going to install it.

                              Put on the lower knee panel on the driver side, fixed a hanging panel on the passenger side (under the glove box towards the back), diagnosed why my rear windshield wiper wasn't squirting, put my radio in correctly, drove 85 mph for 90 miles straight. First time ever. Fixed some wire boots that were coming off.
                              Ma che cazzo state dicendo? :|

                                Disassembled my rear subframe and rear trailing arms, cleaned all the grime and gunk off of them, and took them down to pressure wash before I reinstall all new bushings and paint them. Looks like I'm probably going to be doing the CV boots on at least one side, too.
