This weekend I was able to press out all rubber bushings and ball joints. I forgot how much of a pain that can be. I also figured out that it has Vmaxx coilovers (at least in the rear for sure) but they are shot. I'm not sure if they can be rebuilt or not. I plan to buy better shocks anyway.
I also picked up a nearly complete interior, less seats, to be put into the black car.

Other things I discovered this weekend:
The 1.8 engine swapped into the black car is an early version and does not have a spot for the temperature sensor that feeds the dash gauge.
The oil pressure sender is from the 1.8, which is actually a switch which means I don't get oil pressure readings to the gauge panel. The can be swapped out but 90-93 oil pressure sender are pretty pricey.
The white car started flashing the airbag light 6 times. It was not doing this previously
, so I need to figure that out. Most likely a clock spring.
