Got a few things done over the past few days.

I bent the new brake line running to the rear to match the original:


I threw in my coupe battery cable to help with the relocation to the hatch. I couldn't get any good pictures of this but imagine a red cable running under the floor board wire covers, over the back seat, and into the hatch.

I brought a new to me set of bumper shocks back to life and installed them with my refreshed bumper support:







I managed to get my sunroof in as well but I need to play with it more to get the front to sit flush with the roof. For some reason I am having issues with that. The rear sits nice and flush which really confuses me.

Yesterday I threw in my new hood release cable and associated parts. This was super easy with the fender off.






I also threw the rear bumper on to get an idea of how the rear will look when finished. I was looking around for my bumper trims to throw on as well but couldn't find where I put them.

Looks like some good motivation to get it finished.

Started putzing around again Yesterday.

A little before and after of the refinished front bumper shocks



I didn't know that these rear shock tower carpet cover inserts existed until I was watching a Bavsound audio install on a compact. Obviously I ordered them new right away


I installed new tail light gaskets on the MHW's and also threw on my new bulb trays



That's all for now

I let a buddy of mine test fit the Breytons on his vert, as he was looking at a set and wanted to see how mine fit as the others are far more aggressive

Yup!

They look good though, what specs? et?

You probably already mentioned it before so I apologize for being lazy!

Still waiting for the finished product!

Oh geez, what size tire you going to run? How much camber? I'm still struggling if I should sell my ACS 17x8.5 et13 wheels or try to fit 225's on them and live with the poke... i want some rubber lol.

I have 205/40's on the 9.5's and 215/40's on the 10's. Stock camber in the rear and only a touch up front. My rear quarters were hammered and dollied quite a bit wider

Are you using eccentric rear bushings? I have my rear wheels barely tucking with non-eccentric rear trailing arm bushings and I was @ ~2.75 neg camber and toe was basically zero, with probably toe out when accelerating (squatting) which is not really the safest thing.

I just have condor delrin trailing arm bushings

These?

If so that will definitely help toe at least and camber a bit.

Not those. The normal ones

Hmmm interesting, I look forward to what alignment specs you end up with.
