Participantfinally, the last of the bushings came today. so now i got all new bushings in the rear aswell
how greatthe only old bushing in the rear now is the diff bracket one

bought new bolts for the controlarms and mainbeam while i was at it. just to have done it, the old ones are rusty as hell, and had to be cut since they had rusted stuck inside the bushing tube

Participantbushings are all in. and mounted

Powerflex bushings for the main beam
new bushings from the dealer on the control arms, along with new bolts
Redone all the brake lines, used CuNi (Copper nickel) brakelines
I like new

paint is chipping away. used por-15, but i’ve been too lazy to degrease and clean well enough, ohwell, i could not care less
wise-grip works for just about anything. lol
there is some light in the end of the tunnel now

Participanthmm
seems to me that i need new 12pt bolts for the rear doughnut..
i’ve got the M10x40 bolts. and by the looks of it, i need the M10x42. since they appear to be too short
i’m using the rallye doughtnut with the balance weight (1H0 521 307)
the bolts i’ve got are numbered: N 903 696 02 (M10X40) and the ones i believe i need is N 905 222 01 (M10X42)
can anyone confirm this?

Participantgreat, then i’ll order some of them

got my front crossmember bushings mounted today
kinda pain in the ass to do. but with the use of a long bolt, some washers and a 36mm socket, it got them into the grooves 
so. all bushings are now new, other then the rear diff hanger bushing
kinda getting somwhere now
still needing some 4mm dowel-pins tho
havent gotten that far yet. but, i will eventuallyDecember 6, 2010 at 6:58 pm #8010Housey
Participantaaaaand i ****ed up my front engine mount today

it was a bit out of alignment, so i was going to undo the bolt and move it back. but the bolt broke. and i can’t get it out. too much rust. sooo. i twisted the **** out of the mount, so its defective
that sucks
