    finally, the last of the bushings came today. so now i got all new bushings in the rear aswell :) how great

    the 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

    bushings 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

    hmm

    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?

    great, 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 eventually

    aaaaand 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

    gets longer and longer between the updates. but that does not mean nothing is happening :)

    slowly getting there now. a bit more portwork to one of my g-chargers, and a bit other things, and theres time for some test driving :)
