        Unexpected Update!

        So ive been up at school in Utica so i havent been able to get anything done but today i had a little surprise. I went with one of buddies to a u-pick junk yard just for the hell of it and came out with a wheel barrow full of parts!

        This my friends e46, just wanted to show it off a little

        Daves Car

        But this is what i came out with:

                      The bike on top of my car in the first pic is a NS Majesty dirt frame and velvet fork, im not gonna list everything off but i love the bike and its extremely light and super strong! The bike on top of the e46 is my friends 24" Eastern Night Train, another awesome bike and super fun to ride with a rigid fork! Heres an old pic of my bike and yes i know know, the stem is stupid long...

                        HUGE UPDATE!

                        So today was the day that ive been waiting for for a very long time, COILOVERS! I got home this morning and instantly went to work on the car, i also brought my good friend Dave (another up and coming car sorcerer) (aka DavidD123) to help me out with the build. We had a big list of things to get done so with two people the work went quick, heres the to-do list!

                        IMG_4992

                        So to get going on that last part i got these, Ground Control coilover conversion with 650lb in the rear and 440lb in the front.

                        IMG_4974

                        Ill get started with the easy part first, the rear suspension. The rears were super easy; pull the old strut and remove the old spring but i didnt want to take anything apart to take out the old spring so i just cut it in half and yanked it out Then just press the adjustable perch on and put the spring in!

                        IMG_4985

                        IMG_4987
                        ^as you can see i still need to sort out that damn exhaust lol ^

                        Now all i have to say is that living in the north east sucks balls cause they salt so much during the winter and makes everything rust like mad, so this made the front suspension a real pain in the neck!!! But me and Dave got at it!

                        IMG_4991

                        Once we pulled the suspension and Dave hurt his shoulder trying take the springs off without spring compressors hahaha we found this, the caps that hold the struts in the housings were rusted on and wouldnt move!

                        IMG_4981

                        IMG_4982

                        After about three hours of using PB Blaster and a torch we got them off without harming the housings, i dont know how

                        Also this is the difference between the stock spring and the GC Spring, crazy how much smaller

                        IMG_4978

                        Here are the strut housings after we got the old struts out and cut the old perches off

                        IMG_4993

                        At that point it was getting late so we called it a day, everything is going to be finished tomorrow, and we will have it driving and scraping unibody

                        We did get some other things done today. I got some neverdull polish and did all the chrome on the car!

                        IMG_4988

                        IMG_4989

                        Also replaced the sway bar brackets while i was in there, bushings where all good so i didnt need to replace anything but i might do it in the near future anyway
