My guess is #3 is the most correct...."

Looks like Dave was right, this came apart differently then the book said it should.







Corrected

Going back together!












Got it in but I had to pull it back out to get the Mustache bar on. It was a tight fit




Deciding if I want a e-brake or not. Haven't had one since I bought this car and haven't had any issue but there are times it would be nice, like when you need to jump out of the car for a sec. with the car running.


definitely saves a little weight with out

Car is back together. Needs an alignment and something really strange is going on with my rear diff fill plug, seams like its to small? I really hope I don't need to take the whole rear end back out...

Don't take this in a bad way but why all weight reduction? You have a car with over 300 whp? Are you competitive racing?

Btw I have really enjoyed reading your updates. I am of the same school of thought as you when it comes to working on my own cars. It's such a cool feeling when you get something done by your self and when something is not right I amost always am able to track it down because it was a little mistake on my part instead of tring to get a mechanic to admit to Him doing something wrong.

The less weight the less strain on everything. Its power to weight ratio, I only have 350ish so why wouldn't I want the car to be as light as possible?

I don't have a lot of extra cash so doing my own work is really my only option! But yea I like doing it myself anyways
