Love the attention to detail going on with this build. Glad to see the car rolls again. Also impressed with the short time period it all happened lol.

Annnnnd it's back up on 4 stands. Fixed the exhaust rattle and removed one of the front control arms (pickle fork attachment for air hammer = win!) I need to get new control arm bushings in the frnt though because transferring them from one arm to another pretty much destroys them. Also have to get the little clamps for the tie rod boots and then I can do the tie rods. Once done with those 2, I will drop the car (again) and hopefully all the clunks will be gone.

Nice car, love the detail into the build, first time read through the whole thing...Subscribed~

I did a car pc install and just basically had everything sitting on the front passenger floor. It was a kind of proof of concept. Now that I found everything to work just perfectly, I decided to install it permanently which means running a LOT of wires between the center console and the trunk. Way more than I thought.... 2 sets of audio, 2 usb cables, 5v regulated power and ground, 12v regulated power and ground, 12v acc line, 3 control wires for the car pc, vga and probably some others! Here are the "in process" pics.

So the car pc install is complete but it doesn't look/function well enough to show off. I'm considering ripping the whole thing out. If it's not perfect it's **** imho. I'll figure it out.
