Sorry about the delay of keeping this thread up to date. I have been real busy with other important matters. Well i picked up my rear knuckles from Torres Machine Shop in Temecula, Ca and he just installed my SPL Solid Monoball Bushings wich replace the factory pressed in rubber bushings. So now since i had my knuckles back i went ahead and finished assembling my rear sub frame and suspension.
Here are the pics...

So Im going to install my R33 e-brake cables, and I need to run my fuel lines before i can install my sub frame. I need to order new z32 rear e-brake shoes and then i can finish the rear brakes. Then Im then going to go ahead and get the car ready for body and paint. When the car is gone for paint, when i get the engine back from the Torres Machine shop i will be able to finally assemble my engine and get it ready to drop into the car. so stay tuned for future updates.

well the Beast is coming back home to Missouri, I will be towing her back starting tomorrow morning from Murrieta, Ca. I will be checking on my motor today and it should be done but I have heard that before many times before, but this guy is a perfectionist and takes pride in his work so it doesn't really bother me as long as i can get my motor before i finish moving. so my build is on hold until i finish moving back.
