    This is probably my last post on this phase of the "transformation", after getting an alignment done was able to drive the car. Had both front and rear struts set at 3. Back seemed ok, front seemed a little bone jarring, set that back to 2 and I like it better. Had only one problem with the alignment, that was with the outer tie rods, the stud was too long and had to use 2 washers as spacers so a cotter pin would still go in the castle nut. Other than that, everything went without a hitch.

    Did a quick wash to remove the handprints and dust, started last night claying it, finished up this morning and put a coat of wax on it. It was sunny out so decided to take a couple of pictures. Next up is the AED spoiler, remove the rear deck and finish my tinting, also a pair of projectors, headlights are in really sad shape.









    Looked at the exhaust, but it appears that's how it's going to stay with the slight tilt of the tips, would of been nice had they not been welded on. Clay bar did wonders with the finish, didn't take as long as I thought.
