Alright that's sorted. Need a new bolt and for it to be torqued properly, but we should be good to go. I'm gonna fix the other leak myself when I get the car back (minimal leaking right at the oil pressure sending unit)

Shop quoted me $900 to replace the crankshaft seal but didn't mention anything about verifying timing after the replacement so now I have to have a discussion with them to give me detail on what all that actually entails. I'd really like my <100 mile built motor to not explode when it leaves...

Also my pilot bearing blew up. I'm guessing this happened when we initially installed it. I distinctly remember it requiring excessive persuasion to slot in.

Took my car to Slate Performance to get some work done to it (replacing the transmission and hunting down some oil leaks for me) Good news. They found the oil leaks. Bad news. Crankshaft seal is one of them. F. Good news. It looks more like a car when it has a hood on it. I ordered some fog...

When your headlight OEM common ground breaks, make a new one. It's tons of fun, I promise.

New shoes for old wheels:

Drove it on Saturday and put about 25 miles on it. Overall it felt really good, aside from the squealing and Fisher Price traction from the 7-year-old tires. I’m pretty sure I spun the passenger front twice, so I’ll double check that. I also ordered another rear carrier since the rear diff...

Tossed the battery on the trickle charger yesterday. Weather is finally getting warm enough, I'm gonna take her out of the garage this weekend before it starts raining to stretch her legs and upload the most recent tune from Damond. Updates: Bought 2 Alcantara MS3 seats to replace the trashy...

Ignore me. I didn't read the whole thread because I'm lazy. Things are looking good, my dude. Good job so far! I'm taking mine out of the garage this weekend to dust off the cobwebs.

Paint is at the very end of the very long list of things left to do. Also, I'll probably just vinyl wrap the roof black.

At some point this year (spring time, preferably) gonna run up to Michigan, hijack the NATOR group for a day or two, and knock out the rear subframe, rear brakes, rear suspension (new rear SPC UCA, trailing arms, Siberian Bushing the rear LCAs, new Godspeed Toe Links, RSB, Aluminum bushings for...

Yeah right now it's sitting in the garage until the weather gets to an agreeable temp. I don't plan on driving it on Indiana roads until the salt is gone and I need to undercoat it.

I had a spare to sacrifice to the drilling test gods, I used a drill bit to punch a few holes in the spots and will file it out. Still tedious work, lol.

Starting to look like a car again! Clunky noises were caused by upper and lower control arms not being torqued down. Mounts were fine (old paint marks). Cleaned up the old tick marks, made new ones, torqued down control arms, re-ran some wiring, fixed a grounding issue for the lights, all the...
