so it's that time again. time to crank up the heat, and my valve started leaking. so I picked one form a local junkyard. and I had a genius idea to make the nipples stronger. some jb weld and ta-da!!

and it still leaks. it leaks at the plastic seam at the bottom, so I found this alternative. thank god for clubLexusand the internet.

so I finally got around to getting these fenders rolled. the process wasn't bad but would had been better if I had an assistant chick to hold the heat gun on the fenders as I rolled. I tried to match the front and back curves evenly as possible. 

I brought this nifty kit.

it's an eastwood knock off, but does the same damn thing. you need to lock title the adjusting bolt, and grease the threads before use tho. 

oh, and in the process I eliminated the only spots of car-aids(rust) by cutting it out/off and spraying some black paint to cover it up in the meantime until the lazy monster goes away and I feel like welding on some new metal,here is the results of my work. 

and even the plastic strips have metal in them.

so I finally, finally got around to pulling this damn sub frame to install these suspension goodies. working solo has it's drawbacks. But the job must be done. total took me 12 hrs(2pm-2am) I didn't get to install my wheel bearings like I wanted to and my rear diff solid mounts either. and u will know why in a bit. 

so then on the journey of removing my sub frame the damn left rear abs sensor got stuck/jammed in the hole, and broke apart. so **** my life. worst of all there is still plastic pieces left in the hole. not just an issue of sensor replacement. now I might have to do the whole sensor. 

here is the comparison shots of the rear mk4 sway bar and the front sub frame bushing. 

well there was this weird nut-locker for the upper arms. never seen this one before, anywhoo getting the ball jointsoff was more of a challenge than anything. I didn't take any pics of the arms installed after because it was dark. but here are some snaps on the rack. 

and here is the current alignment specs for it after the serial 9 arms..
