So im calling it a night even though this warm weather is amazing and it will probably be colder soon. I got the whole interior stripped in the old red car. Dennys car is for the most part stripped so ill be swapping all my interior including dash, carpet ect...

Started off today by getting the new car stripped out. Got the seats out then dropped the steering column and pulled the dash. The old carpet is the nastiest shit ever so pulled it and got the black carpet in.

I dont have good lighting at all and obviously no heat in the garage so these lights and this space heater saved my life

Black carpet in

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/DSC_0309.jpg
Started snowing so I packed it in
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/DSC_0305.jpg

So i havent had time to work on this the past 4-5 days due to a second x-mas and medical incident.
The interior is for the most part done
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/DSC_0433.jpg
While stripping the new car I mad a dumb choice and cut a zip-tie towards me and paid a price. I was in the emergency room for 3 hours before the doctor stopped the bleeding enough to stitch. I cant really move my finger and the joint is very swollen. I also have lost the feeling in the left part of my finger from the cut up to the tip due to nerve damage,

Caught these turds sniffin each others butts
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/DSC_0428.jpg
First thing I had to do is move the car over and clean up the shit bomb of a garage.
Crap

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/DSC_0291.jpg
Now it seems to be tolerable, I added 5 more lights so I can actually see.

Nismo tension rods
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/DSC_0453.jpg

This is how I ended for the night
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/DSC_0461.jpg

My dad took the SLR so im using some really shitty camera and I hope the pics work and photobucket doesnt size them all weird. I only work for like 4-5 hours today because I obviously had to sleep until 1pm then screw around until 2, then work for 3 hours then eat and fug around for like an hour in the garage and called it a night; Im so productive :toothless. First thing at hand was lose the 15/16 BMC and get the 17/16 installed
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5890.jpg
I got the front all buckled up and a few odds and ends taken care of. Relocated both side fender harnesses, denny did one side but in anal about that stuff so I re-did it to my liking.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5899.jpg
This is what took the longest. I had to swap suspension from one car to another and back so they would swap. This wasnt that hard as ive done it defore. Jic magic RUCAS and coils installed and calipers cleaned and sprayed black as well.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5888.jpg
Then got the wheels bolted up with a 5mm spacer so 17x9 +23 effectively.

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5897.jpg
The car is not lowered in this pic, I thought I took one of it one the ground but didnt, ill snap one tomorrow.
Here are the plans for tomorrow.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5900.jpg
PEACE

Im eating dinner so ill update a few things. I got off by getting the 36mm hub bolt taken off. Stupid me took off the brake before I broke it loose so I had to use a crow bar in between the studs to break it. Then got the nut off
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5903.jpg
Then Bang that rotor with a spiked bat Bllaahhh!!!!!!! It will come off.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5904.jpg
Loosen 4 19mm bolts the unbolt the hub. You will need to find some way to rotate the axle so you can get at all then.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5905.jpg
Then beat the shit out of it from the back at diferent angles till you feel it pop, then pull it off.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5904.jpg
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5905.jpg
Unbolt 2 12mm buts on top of the strut tower with a deep socket.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5911.jpg
Then unbolt the 17mm nut on the bottom and hammer the strut a few times and it will drop.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5912.jpg
Just for fun, the custom speaker holder setup that previous owner had in
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5910.jpg
Unbolt 19mm nut and bang bolt out of RUCA.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5908.jpg
Use a 17mm to get the rear one off, using a breaker bar is almost a must for these bolts.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5913.jpg
Keep in mind when putting it back the bolt and washer have groves and only go on i way so dont force it if it isnt lined up
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5918.jpg
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5919.jpg
Switched out to NISMO 50mm studs
Stock
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5923.jpg
One installed
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/n240sxfnatic/IMG_5926.jpg
The preffered method is 3/4" wrench, adjustable wrench, washer and nut lol.

Its just the pics, I tucked most of it as low as I can but its really really messy, I can take a pic tomorrow but its not pretty
