Nope, ran into a snag!.. things were moving along until I put the rack on, wrong style a-arms can't hook up the rack, now have to deal with trying to exchange them, ought to be fun!..

Well, found out that they don't make an a-arm that works with the rack I have, but I can get the right ones from the same place I got the rack so I ordered them. Now for the pisser, it comes in silver or black powdercoat and wouldn't you know it, they're out of the black and it's a 3-4 week wait for the next batch to come back from the powdercoater.... Story of my life!...

I thought about that, but I can see the stuff coming off from road crap and then it would look like $hit so I'll just wait, there's other stuff I can do in the meantime!..

That would be cool, but don't think the mileage would be too good!..

I saw that. Looks real good. I was hoping to see how some of the frontend parts are looking.

The whole pile is in a box not gonna use any of it, putting all new tubular a-arms and getting rid of the strut rods, 1" lowered coils, and rack steering and a disc break kit. Bought a CPP mini subframe kit but found out the lower a-arms work with stock steering and not the rack kit I got, so I had to order the a-arms from the ones I got the rack from, but there's a 4 week wait till they come back from the powdercoater!. So now I have an a-arm kit for sale!..

They won't take them back even though they don't work for what your doing?

Well, I bought a deluxe kit with upper a-arms, lowered coils and shocks!. I would have to send the whole kit back and turn around and order half of it back, they charge a 25% re stocking fee and it would cost for shipping, and that would be just about the same as what the basic kit cost, so it's actually cheaper to just sell the parts I don't need!..

Well not really, it's been on hold for a couple weeks now and it looks like another couple of weeks before I get the rest of the parts. Â Motor won't go in till I get the front end and the rear end done, I'm just starting to clean up the motor now!.. Oh, and still looking for a 700R4 too!..

Well at least you have a good reason. Poor CE's still out rummaging threw the garage looking for that motivation thing. |
And I don't think he's having too much success either!..
