transformation



I just dropped off the the remaining peices to be powder coated today. sway bars, airbox, and intercooler air diverter will be orange. gas cap, gloss black. I almost was gong to to the coils, but I wasn't sure what color. The yellow is good for now. I can't wait to get started. It depends on how the subframe looks once dropped if I get a wild hair to powder it also.

So far on my to install list I need to get started on:

Powerflex Steering rack bushing
Powerflex Control Arm Bushings and ball joints
Powerflex Rear Trailing Arm Bushing
Vibra Technics motor mounts and torque link
H-Sport Rear Camber Links
H&R Front Sway Bar
WMW Rear Sway Bar
WMW Strut Tower Brace
Vorshlag Camber Plates
KW Variant 2 Coilovers
DDM Works Intercooler Diverter
DDMworks Intake
15% Supercharger Pulley
ATI Super Damper Crank Pulley 2%
new OEM Belt Tensioner, may disassemble and powder also
Canton coolant and power steering tanks
Glossy black headlight rings on the way.

You must own a powder coating business! Nice ride -- even better once you're finished. Good luck.
