mini wide body by joa kwin, on Flickr im so close to having the rear suspension done the car is sitting on 3 wheels right now and a jack stand the right rear coilover needs to be installed and then I can get it back on the ground next step is to work on running the park brake cables I want to use the Honda park brake handle and cables and after that I have to run new brake lines and bleed the brake system out I need to turn the car around so that I can work on fitting the front clip and then I can work on fitting the wide body panels I hope to start body work in a month and done in 2 months, as long as I don't get some crazy ideas that take up a lot of time aka rear disc brakes, took a lot longer then I wanted

thanks everyone
i took a few day off from work this week to knock out a few things on the car
it had a coolant leak at the iacv, pin hole in the hose going to it, new hose and clamps
auto tranny hoses looked like they were going to pop from pressure, new hoses and clamps and they no longer do that
mounted the front clip and started to mount the flares to the body
i still need to mod the rear section of the exhaust pipe and add in another exhaust mount for that section
