Yup I either call it the blue car or the wagon

So I recently got a GoPro so I wanted to make a short video with it, it'll be awesome for when I take the wagon to the track

And testing out imgur for hosting pics

One more step finished, custom battery tray

The last mock up before paint



This is just to show the pieces I welded to the car that the tray bolts to



The tray itself



Bolted in place



Once the battery is in, I made this plate to slide into a slot in the front of the tray to lock down the battery



And the finished product, i plan on cleaning up the battery still since it's out in the open like that

Awsome! You always seem to make a KL swap look easy, and we all know it is not!

KL's actually aren't that difficult to be honest once you figure it out lol

All it takes is swapping out enough of them...... Right? Nice try being modest!

Great pictures of the suspension parts cleanup and painting.

Time for an update



Finally got a new windshield installed



The coil over suspension on it was very noisy, clunking and squeaking so I decided to switch it out for the set from my old GT

After replacing the suspension and while my focus was on the rear tire, I noticed it looked like the “toe” was wayyy off so after digging deeper into it I think the rear lateral link was from a BG causing the alignment issue because BF lateral links are non-adjustable..... but the BG ones are, these ones are seized completely solid so it’s just time to replace them with new ones

So what better time to freshen up the rear end of this thing

Here’s how it looked when I started



Removal of the subframe





Fresh coat of paint





The new forward lateral links



Even though the new rear lateral links haven’t arrived yet and since they are easy to change with the subframe installed, I decided to re-install everything so the car is mobile again until they do arrive



And after bleeding out the brakes, set it back on all 4 wheels

Can't one of you computer wizards figure out a way to make the photobucket links work again?

If you dont have it already, install the google chrome browser. Then install this extension

It can be a bit weird to navigate the site at times, but I'm able to view all the broken pictures with it
