Message	A "sort of" update. Got a few things back from the powdercoaters. I was going for a matching gold color that is currently on my Gram Lights. I love the color and spent about a week finding the color for a near exact match. If you look close enough you will notice I eliminated all the bracket that I didn't need to lighten up the assembly and also added a few welds for a bit more strength. SPL Bushings I'll push in shortly. Below are some pics of the diff cover that I have had for a while now. Going to have whole thing coated in a heat extractor coating to pull as much heat of off the diff as I can. The original stock unit. Just got my new studs in. Will install these soon as well. Cut a few more things off the car as well. Some more pics. Finished pressing the bushings in. Wasn't too bad. Threw the bushings in the freezer and lubed them up. Went in with a little love from the a BFM (aka, Big F*cking Mallet). Note - if you powdercoat the subframe you will need to massage the hole they will slide into a bit, just saying. Tolerances are pretty damn thin and dead on, props to Kuah on that one. Rear Diff bushings. These were probably the toughest, but not that tough. Started to assemble the newly painted tranny mount with the SPL tranny mount as well. Again, a very well done piece. Been sitting on this piece for a year. All done. Pretty simple to install. It does get rid of the mid hangers for the mid pipe. That didn't matter to me but it does to others. I like it. *shrug* Installed on the tranny and made an extension for the vent fitting on the tranny. I've heard of guys blowing fluid on the side of the tranny, this is just to keep it on the ground and not soo much on the underside. Got these done at the same time. The Dave G. rear brace and Unique Autosports (aka, UAS) front brace. Dave is probably going to shoot me for powdercoating those amazing welds but had to do it. Got an untouched one on the daily as I love looking at it in the raw. These came out nice though. I'll have some beginning engine pics in the next coming days and hopefully completed front and rear bumper diffusers soon.
