driveshaft complete, extended wheel studs on front wheels, next week i should be driving around
installed extended wheel studs on the front wheels, and raised the car a little on the coil overs, pressed the driveshaft together, insanely enough this driveshaft tube was donated from a youtube member! he made it for me to my measurements, and i just put my ends on and viola, tossed it in. its awesome how the community gives back!
trying to go over everything 3x and zip tie a bunch of stuff to make sure it doesnt fall out or burn on things, etc.
stuck a nice squeeze performance sticker there in the engine bay gotta represent my sponsors!

frame rails and gas tank etc
cut out the stock frame rail and installed a mini one! this allows more room around the turbo to do oil drains and fittings and charge piping etc! also might make it look cleaner? who knows..
also pulled the gas tank, and sprayed all the bolts for the rear in preparations to remove it.
removed the driveshaft and exhaust, whats left of them, and about 30lbs of mud, rust and unknown materials from the wheel wells, underside and bumper lol

correct shanks spacers and filling holes in firewall etc
got the correct size wheel spacers once i double checked them and the shanks for all 4 corners all i need to do is put in extended studs to be tech legal, but everything fits and doesnt rub now, just have to pull a hub for the drivers side and i can even put the car on the ground. Also started plasma cutting the inner fenders out, since i will be doing that anyway and using the spare pieces to seal up the larger holes in the firewall. keeping that patina...
