I didn't realize i never posted this here but here's my new daily.

I just finished the interior and it just gave me a brake problem or something around there in the right front.
I'll have to check it out soon.

I'm painting the car black and just recently bought the xxr's just for this car.

don't worry, I'm saving up to get nice rims for the 510 wagon I'll be getting.

Nice!

I'm sure you know not to fuck with brake problems after your last encounter. Just replace with new calipers and pads man. For what they cost they are cheap enough to just replace. Don't get the brake fluid on the paint, and bleed it good. Don't get brake fluid on the pads or the rotor either.... And use brake clean... Good to go.

like to add, if you don't have brake clean. You can use rubbing alcohol on a rag to break down the brake fluid off your pads and/or parts. It's cheaper, cost like around 45 cents at your local drug or grocery store. Also will evaporate with no residual left behind.

food for the brain.

i used the alchahol rubbing for the brakes to clean em but didnt have pads yet.

I just got em so i should be putting em on tomorrow morning.

Here's some pics of the car now. by no means is it completed.
I still have a lot to do.
just bought new shocks kyb all around.

im thinking to go with springs to lower the car but don't know what would be best.
also bought new front lip from msa i still have to install.
also tinted my windows today and looks much much cleaner.

the car just needs a good lowering and it should be perfect :)
well imo. it's not perfect in body or mechanically. a bit boggy randomly but im not sure what it is. but car runs fine and dont wanna go into it and break something else.
