Paint!!!









I painted the car flat black because it's better than five mismatched colors. When I get some better fenders and bumper cover real paint shall be sprayed.

I got bored today and went ahead and installed my J30 brakes, they work surprisingly well considering all the parts are used.





They're a lot bigger than I realized.

All of the suspension bushings were gone so... initiate energy bushing install!











The rest will be installed soon. Not looking forward to doing the rears there are so many arms to work on. More to come soon.

so worth it though.
makes a notable difference when the bushes aren't crap. And from the looks of it, all of your bushings are crap, so it is gonna be a big difference.

Definitely a noticeable change, after finishing the fronts I could feel the difference driving around.

It's amazing what fresh rubber/poly does for handling... I'm glad I had access to a press for all my bushings. I have Nismo upgraded rubber and sphericals on my car.

Looks like you have your hands full, looking good so far.
