Maching up the rear suspension with the 3SX upper arms and Jay Racing active toe eliminator. Still have some cutting and welding to do on the trailing arms and subframe for the 3KGT rear end. My son was giving me a hand.

Taking vacation time next week to do the rust bullet on the under body. Trying to get this car back on wheels before it snows, it's blocking my garage!!!!!

Here's a picture of the 3KGT rear diff and the front hubs with ARP extended studs, new bearings, and seals.

Finally hit it hard today got almost 2 wheel wells stripped of undercoating and ready for rust bullet. Here's a pic of the passenger side front. Thankfully my wife was willing to help.

Scraping undercoating has been at a standstill. After sitting in traffic for an hour after work, and less daylight, I haven't been feeling too ambitious after work lately. Tubular rear subframe should be done in the next couple days, so I am behind schedule.
 
Drove out to PA and picked up my tubular rear subframe from Josh at True Street Tuning and Fab. I'll be able to bolt the 3KGT rear diff right into the new subframe.

Haven't got much done recently been cold and the car was outside on jackstands. Took advantage of the 60* weather here after work and got the car back on 4 wheels again. First time in 7 months. Didn't get any pics of the car on the ground because it got dark on me. Here is a pic of the rear subframe and tubular control arms.

Man time flies, Can't believe it has been almost a year since I last updated this. Haven't done much to the car, but plan to today after work. I finally found a good tool to strip off the undercoating easily. http://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-pneumatic-rotary-removal-tool.html. I picked up a slightly used one on E-bay for $200. Here's a small area I tested, found the medium wire wheel worked the best.

It was 90* in Columbus, OH on Saturday, but that didn't stop me from stripping more undercoating/seam sealer off the car. I finished both driver side wheel wells.

No updates right now. Picked up a second job, part time at UPS, with hopes of getting on full time soon as a feeder driver or package car driver. So I've been working 65-75 hours per week.
