Well, I'm mid way through the big transformation. It looks like I'll have the car like this for a month or so.... It's very sad :cry: - AB

Aaron and I swapped his lower control arm bushings today for the GTS. I've now used a press about 6 times and every time it's still a new exercise in making it do what you want. But it sure is cool.

I need to thank Donnie again. Pressing bushings and bearings out are not as easy as,'insert part x into press part y and press away'. It requires a lot of thinking in order to not damage the part it's being pressed out of, and with the amount of pressure needed, it can save your eyes or other body parts if you set it up right and things don't go flying!

As for things left to do, there is a laundry list of them... hopefully all to be done by the Christmas party. - AB

No need to thank me. It's better to learn on someone else's car parts. Wasn't mine if we tore it up. ;-)

I will say this, we made *excellent* use of old brake disks in the process. Oh, and you can never have too many hunks of scrap metal laying around a shop.
