    Well... where do I start. I thought I had thing thing close to almost done, no way.

    First off my rear LCA bushings don't fit cause for some reason I have the smaller LCA bushing mounts...
    I was installing my Speedhut gauges and broke my damn fuel gauge needle.
    My Kia axles did not come in this week...
    Lost some bolts for putting the transmission back together...
    Crossing my fingers that the SuperPro bushings will fit the arms I have... going to the border to pick them up tonight hopefully...
    Have to make one more junkyard run to grab a few things... lower tie bar (gonna try and fit two), bolts, coil pack, rear spoiler (the rare one)...
    Oh yeah, and my one of my Speedhut gauges has a bubble in the gauge, so I gotta send it back so they can replace or fix it.

    On a good note, I have all the stuff for putting my hub bearing back together... just need to spray it with undercoating paint for protection. As well as spray my arms with that stuff...

        Thanks therieldeal!

        Got my SuperPro's last night... measured them and they are the right size for my MX-3... woo!

        Now waiting on my ES trailing arm ones... *crosses fingers*

        Today I also sprayed my front hubs with the non-paintable rubberized undercoating spray... that **** comes out thick!!! Remind me to wear gloves before I use that again. Not sure how it's gonna turn out after it dries but I had to leave work.

        This is before I started with the undercoating spray...


        My co-workers says it's like a Mazda Christmas as I have parts hanging all over the shop...

              you know, if Ihad the time and money and the shop, I would do what you are doing. I love the undercoating on everything. It looks absolutely amazing. you're going to have the cleanest old car around!
              No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

                      ... I'm ready to bolt her up!




                      Who knew with lowering springs you don't need a spring compressor... haha!

                      Got my ES trailing arm bushings and these strut boots... I think I got everything and it's ready to finish up this surgery.

                        I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

                                Time to put her legs back... tomorrow it is, I don't give a damn if it's raining... gonna put up a big ****in' tarp and go at 'er.

                                I'll try to remember to grab a before picture, her being with no legs and no engina... poor girl.

                                Gonna try and throw in her electical veins and brain box too... maybe try and see where I'm gonna mount the remote oil tampon as well.
