Well today was a very unproductive day. Slept in after some beer pong last night but got to work just before 12. Started by getting passenger side axle into tranny and bolted in place. Next up was subframe. It went it ok and got ps all hooked back in and lower mount bolted up.

This is where things went bad. I stupidly didn't replace the heim joints off the car. Big mistake. First off one of the control arms, the threads were chewed up something fierce. Finally after buying a new torch tank since mine went dry today, got that heim joint out. To bad there is the ball joint adapter fused into it right? Well after multiple attempts to torch the center, beat the adapter out and even tried my press on it with no success aside from pressing the ball out of the socket LOL. Took a break and went to the other arm. It's threads were good so after a good torching me and Brandon worked it off with ease. I torched the center for a good 5-10 minutes (actually Brandon torched it most of that time) gave it 3 good hits and the adapter fell out. Tried the same method again on the other one and still no success. How did I get it out you wonder....



Ya that's right, I cut the b!tch... Finally hours later I had something to work with. In between all the bs, I finished painting the piping. Put a total of 4 coats on all 6 pipes. They were very heavy coats towards the end too and didn't even blemish when hitting them together as I walked them across the shop.

So here's where the piping stands...


I put two pipes in before calling it a day just to see how it looked all crammed in there for colour. I think it turned out perfect for a good clean look, it's more noticeable now which I do like while not saying "look at me I have a turbo bro"

Wish I got more done today... A little bummed. There's always another day since my dad said it didn't matter how long it was in the shop. Bonus for me I guess!

Here's just a couple random snaps I took. Also Taylor put her hot wheelz interior in today in the hatch back while I was at the shop. The svt interior is available!!! Someone buy it
