That Carbing strut bar looks great against the VSM.

I hope the 3wks off isn't impacting you financially. Either way, best wishes and enjoy the wrench time.

Looking forward to seeing this thing together!

Dang rear lines also? Long lines can be a pain! Best of luck bud

Thankfully it's paid. It involves doing a little bit if work from home but it's like 2 hours per day.

Got the lines going to the Master Cylinder done yesterday!

Also picked up the interior brackets from the powder coater! Dude did a great job.

Test fitted the brackets




And lastly, almost completed the brake lines, waiting on a fitting from Jegs then it should wrap that up

Be aware you will not get a good ground connection though the powder coat. I would grind down the coat anywhere you will use as ground.

Appreciate the reminder! That will definitely happen when I get to connecting everything Inside the cabin.

Back at it with more progress!
Picked up a set of PCI spherical rear camber arms to replace the old Blox ones.




Got started on the headlight wire harnesses. Completely de loomed the harness and re wrapped it after getting rid of some unneeded connectors (washer fluid, ac fan etc) 





The passenger side was a bit more work because I had to strip the harness and get rid of all the ABS connectors then re wrap it. The original harness had been hacked by the previous owner so I was able to find the original connectors for the headlights on eBay so will solder those and finish up once they arrive










Now we move towards the inside wiring. It was a real tight squeeze with the brake lines but the main harness was able to fit in.

This is coming along nicely! I understand the hours required for the wiring work. I'm having flashbacks to 2007 for my rebuild. I tip my hat to you finding the original headlight connectors, that's a move that will pay dividends later. I need to find USDM connectors myself...

Keep up the quality work!

Loving the build! Keep it up brotha. More pics on instagram too haha as I'm following it on there as well.

Looks fantastic
