Subframe bushings are fucking scumbags, I wish I had a hydraulic press at storage :(

Not having a fun time, lol

What's even better than the process is the smell, Am I right?

Not looking forward to doing the spindle pins on my car...

yeah, it stinks like.. chemical fires. I burnt it outside of my storage unit just to be safe though, didn't wanna be breathing in what could possibly be hazardous fumes.

Started taking apart the head, cam lobe wear was surprisingly good, still in spec actually, lol



Gonna need a PROPER tune after I get my Tomei M7960 (well that's what I'm going for anyways), Had no clue my shit was getting THAT hot.



More stitch welding of course, I *think* I'm getting better at this, lol

Reinforced the tension rod brackets, gonna fab a bar that goes across the two and weld them together. Pretty much like a nismo power brace, except it's not gonna cost me ~$500



Welds, getting better I think



Final product shoot look something like this

Welds are DEFINITELY looking better. I'd say slow it down just a smidge and you'll be perfect.

That engin*** is going to turn out amazing though. Stripping it all down to nothing is going to pay off in spades. Excited to see the progress!
