August 11, 200818 yr Author comment_267588 prototype block faces for engine mounts. 10mm but i've decided to go with 5mm as 10mm is really haeavy and stock mounts are made out of 5mm. powdercoated waterpump pulley. Report
August 11, 200818 yr comment_267633 looks really good, to split the ball joint the best way is to get a tool made specificly to do that job, they are available fairly cheaply. 5mm should be fine for mounts providing the force is even across the mount. Report
August 17, 200818 yr Author comment_268602 alrighty. replaced both lower ball joints and one of the tie rod ends. couldn't get the other one out. soaking it in crc. filed out the steering arm holes to fit my struts. got all the steering gear bolted in. and i got started on installing my intank pump. will post some pics later. also found myself one awesome door! no rust. and not even a single dent! seriously!
