Umm its a little while man. Definitely a 2 week project if you want to take your time and if you're a busy man. But by 2 weeks i mean pulling it, cleaning it and rust proofing, building it up/changing bushings and reinstall.

if you're just counting taking it out, a few hours. maybe 2 if u have a guy who knows his way around a 240 well.

Later that night we got the subframe installed! Just me and mrgreeneyes, it's a tough 2 man job but with a jack and 2 blocks of wood it can be done. Even installing bushing collars and the coils was pretty simple.
Then we mocked up the wheel which needs tires so that'll happen soon before it comes off the stands. Let me tell u, the fresh subframe installed looks so HOT .

search on the forum that nico is afraid to talk about (Zilvia) for the Powered By Max thread.

no update pics or anything cus i felt like crap yesterday, my whole body ached from a full day of junkyarding sunday. i did however, finish building the car. spent a good hour bleeding the damned brakes, checking for leaks, etc only to find out that under full brake pressure, the mc's main rear seal blew out, dumping brake fluid (aka paint stripper) all down my camo booster and my framerail, annihilating the paint. yay. just effin yay.

so a new mc will be ordered. what a damn headache. only things left to do are fill it with fluids, get tires on my wheels, make a rear parcel shelf and amp mounting board, get the windshield cosmetic seal installed, get the title (zomg you dont have the title yet??!!? no, nico, i dont)and get her legalized/inspected. something tells me she will pass inspection with no probs. just a hunch.

new tow hook toy. heres the update as of today. my friend tried to adjust the doors to fit better, but only got it better, not fixed totally. im not happy, as this will piss me off.

also, went to bleed the braking system last night. bled all calipers/lines and checked it all for leaks, fixed leaks, etc... then on the last pumps of the pedal, the rear seal to the MC decided that it didnt want to participate in my car anymore and failed. fluid everywhere, stripped paint off my framerail, booster, fender... not happy about that.

the ONLY good thing about today is that i ordered tires (falken 502's in 205/50/16) brand new, and will have my good wheels/tires on at the end of this week. thats the only good news. otherwise, im actually very very mad at this point and just need to buy a damn clean shell and start over. im |--------| this close to doing it too, any joking aside.

You are, in no way, allowed to get a new shell. You've already gone this far and you can't just start another. You've put too much time and money in this project to just "start over." I'm coming over sunday and finishing this car with you.

No, MOM, i dont think you understand my total and utter frustration that is this whole project/car. this car itself is a freakin turd. im tired of its "character-defining-quirks", tired of finding new rust spots, tired of getting 95% done and a seal blows, etc.

i was originally owed a clean car. thats what was wrecked. i got a $hitbox and im pissed thoroughly. i need a clean, rustfree car. thats what i had, thats what i deserve. not some BS, rusty-as$, "find a new flaw" everyday kinda car.

all you guys keep an eye out for a clean hatch. preferably black or white or gunmetal. if you find one, post here. i dont care about motor, suspension, subframe, exhaust... i just want a rustfree car with all bodypanels, doors, etc. thats all i freakin want.....

/breakdown. im going drinking tonight nico... i need it

But seriously, dude. I owe you so much so if you ever need help with the car, feel free to call and I'll be down.

EDIT: I could only find a 93 white coupe shell on Craigslist. Maybe we should go grab that S15 front ended coupe at the junkyard.

All quirks that you're going to run into when truely 'building' a car man. It's ok. Just small delays. Just gives u more of a reason to beat the KA when it's complete.

Oh and now i feel bad about the gorilla lug key lol. Since u had a bad night

Keep it up. Thursday man I'll be over, but I have to clean up the cavy for my mom before she pays me 4 it so i won't have all day.
