    Would it be stupid to try and replace my diff bushing, rear subframe bushings, and rear control arm bushings in two days?

      Don't see why not

      As long as you have all the presses required, you should be good. Everything is going to be off your rear end anyway, so it'd be the smart logical thing to do

        Im not familiar with the time it takes to do what you are looking to do but I would say if you are unsure that you can accomplish the task in two days time you should re-evaluate your deadline and find more time to make sure you do it properly. Things can go wrong and if you arent prepared to deal with it, you end up becoming spencer lololol.
        SO MUCH MORE TO DO!!

            That would be nice. I don't expect to even have the bushings for at least another week. When do you get back from Hawaii? Also, "is there anything else I should do while I'm in there?"

              Bushings primarily make up the bulk of wear items in the rear end: you could do
              Diff fluid
              Shock mounts
              CV Boots

              Besides that, there's really nothing else to refresh in the rear end besides brake pads

                  I'll have to check out my shock mounts and cv boots, I may do brake lines, but I did diff fluid recently.

                    Is it Steven that was looking for a vert here? Did you look at my buddies vert in Morgan hill? I saw you inquiring at the calypso early model in down in LA. That car is far more work and far more miles than you need to gamble on. I would say that look around here in NorCal first if you haven't found one (there's an abundance on Craigslist). I know you and Vivek wants to hold hands along with your cabrios.

                          check the roof, make sure the rubber is good, that the power windows align with the top. check for rust under the battery tray, check the spare tire well for water-rust issues. they usually need new seats. make sure it's a cali only car and that the car has been smogged within the past 30 days. blown speakers is common. and dont spend more than 3k on a DB car.



                          is a good buy

                            How hard is it to weld on a rear valence? Every time I bring it up with Vivek he's always like I'll sell you mine... It's not that hard. Hahaha but I have a feeling it's going to be quite a bit of welding

                              100% not worth it.

                              also dont get a 318 vert

                                Are seats readily available for verts? And the rear battery tray? How if there's a weight in there?
