Today's goal is to finish this control arm up, 1 more full coat of black and I'll be happy

Next I'll begin cleaning up the spindle/knuckle whatever floats the boat while that dries

AND if I'm lucky enough I'll get the sway bar cleaned up and prepped for paint.
 
All cleaned, prepped for paint💪 2 coats of primer, I didn't lay any black yet just wanted to get some paint on these

I think for just primer they look alright, I'll be happier when they're finished and back on the car😉

I even managed to get the sway bar all cleaned up and 2 coats of primer thrown on given I was limited on time tonight.

Same primer gray, although the sway bar will be finished in a "coastal gray" I found.

Woohoo! Pass. Control arm is done! I forgot the bearing for the hub/spindle so that'll be something to do over the week.

current state of my interior 🙃, have a tight spot in the shifter I need to figure out(almost like a small bind) still need to get this headliner done and the interior can go back together

Check it out, sway bar is back on (my God that was a PIA). I read a few older threads on here that said it would be one of the hardest things to do and I will say it was horrible, BUT it's on and it looks good. I think at this point I need to order more parts🫣, and put the pass. side back together.

I have a RockAuto cart put together to finish up the front end(all the rubber brake lines, 2 struts, sway bar end links, calipers and rotors), except for the brake hard lines. I will be doing the OEM 2 piston "big brake" upgrade from the 93+ DSM or 91/92+ non turbo stealth/3000GT. Getting closer!! Have I mentioned how excited I am yet? I'm sure the wife is tired of hearing it by now😂. Once the front is done I'm gonna move this party inside the garage and get the rear subframe out. That's where the fun really begins!
 
Finished up the pass. side, at this point I need to order parts. I need to get some cash stacked up for this next RockAuto order. I got my center console back together, the shifter is nice and tight once again. Maybe this weekend I'll finally get the headliner done and I can get the interior back together

Ya know for never having done or attempted a headliner before, this was actually way easier than I expected it to be.

I got this fabric from hobby lobby down the road for 12$, the adhesive kinda stung at 30$ a can.

Do you guys like my small collection of sockets😂 probably didn't need to do that but eh if it helped awesome if not oh well.
1000016433.jpg
the underside was a lil goofy looking but you'll never see it again.
1000016436.jpg
final product! It's got a few wrinkles on the edges that I'm annoyed about but again this is the first one I've ever done and I'm more than happy with the end result.

Its hard to get an "in the car" picture, but I finally have the interior back! Woohoo, I plan to get the shop vac out and give this a good deep clean before the seats are put back.
