All four wheel bearings needed to be replaced
Had to purchase new socket for this one!
Welded up external wastegate return stub. Has an internal slip joint to allow expansion
Almost all my bushings were worn! Had to replace every suspension bushing - what a pain in the ass
Went with Poly in some areas, OEM in others
Replaced the automatic half shafts with the manual versions. You can see the difference in thickness
Parking brake shoes were a joke - metal to metal
Finally got manual boot and cover from junkyard! 6-spd conversion complete
Started welding up my custom catchan
Unfortunately, received a shaft with a bent threaded section. Had to improvise and cut an old nut in half, then retread. Worked.
More catchcan pics - custom made with internal wall/structure to separate liquid from gas. Catchan plumbs back into pre-turbo pipe to help suck in the blowby
Catchcan hose plumbing
Installed BC coilovers to even out the ride height. Still more work to do...
