Fixed the power steering leak today, just a O-ring

Put a new MX-3 GS anti-roll bar on the MX-326GS on Monday. Wow that is a big job on this car. I had lower the front sub frame, remove the steering rack, front pipe and the front hubs! Guess I am used to the 3 minute sway bar removal on the Mustang.



Put front universal polyurethane sway bar bushings in it too. They almost bolted right on. I had to widen the holes in the brackets a touch. Also there are little limiters on the bar, they have to be moved in a couple MM on each side.


Energy suspension part number, if anyone is brave enough to instal some LOL

I decided to add a flex coupler to the MX-326GS' exhaust system today

Here is the flex coupler welded in.


The rear pipe needed to be shortened and a new flange was welded on.




Front/mid and rear pipe all pretty.


Installed and no leaks! Finnaly the last chapter of Man VS Exhaust. The new welding helmet worked very well, I love that thing!

Put some body panels on the MX-326GS today. Put all the weather stripping on too.




Left door.



Right door. I also put the hatch on for real (it was just sitting on there before).



Left Fender.


Right Fender.


Felt good to put the body on, and DRIVE it in and out of the garage

hey so it is a 323 LOL

looking awesome man! Starting to look like a car again

[FE3-323]

whats in the plans for a paint color scheme???

[Turpro]

Black lol

[IMACHU2]

Yep it IS a 323 Jack. The ultra rare MX-326GS LOL
Turpro nailed it FE3-323-It is going to be black
The "black" is going to be an experiment though. I am going to Plasti Dip the whole car black. Plasti Dip is the same stuff that your plier handles are coated with. It comes in a spray can and it has recently become popular in the car world to black out emblems and wheels. Hard to say who the first person to coat a whole car was, but it has become quite a trend also.

Here is a Bimmer coated in Plasti Dip. Google "plastidip car" if you have a few hours to kill.


Here is what the spray can looks like. It comes in red, blue, yellow, white, clear and black.
