This update comes 3ish months from the last one because of business at work, a broken plasma cutter, new car stuff, and house hunting.

I get to install the rear coilovers and finish cutting the other rear fender.


1. I get to use my highly advanced circular cutting jig.
  
2. Here is the setup mark I made to help follow when I cut.

3. Here is the suspension plate. I have to cut and rebend the plate to clear the new subframe.
  
4. Here you can see why it no longer fits without modification.

5. The notches show where I plan to bend. They might look like they are in the wrong spot in the previous pic, but they are not.
  
6. I started my cut, but you can see that.

7. The cut is rough because I needed a new tip for the new(used) plasma cutter I bought.
  
8. Here's the plasma cutter I bought. It's lighter gauge, but has its own compressor.

9. I cut all around, and started my access cuts to get at the inner panels.
  
10. And the panel all cut out.

11. From the other side.
  
12. This side was moved back the same distane as the other side.

13. The coilovers put on.
  
14. The coilovers on both sides.

15. From the back.
  
16. Sighting down the car, you can see the suspension front and rear.

Feels good to work on it again. I would have bent the suspension plate except I realized that I didn't haev a firm way to mount it to do the bending. Soon, and hopefullt more work soon as well.
