Changed the wheel hubs today. That was a fight with rounded bolts and such, but I defeated them.


And now a few beauty shots.








Next week the steering rack goes in, finally. New ball joints, and that'* it. The rest is putting it all back in. Hope to have the engine back in the car next week.

It will be down by the PCM. There will be a AtA intercooler that needs to be installed yet.
