Looking good! Is it just me or does that sway bar look a little small in diameter for the bushings? They should be a tight fit.

It may seem loose on the photo, but the clamp makes it snug. It was very difficult to slide over the bends on the FSB, if it was any smaller, I don't think it would fit.

Minor body work before paint!!

Paint is dry and I'm slowly putting pieces back on. Lint from the fan is visible.

Been over a month since I updated, been busy snowboarding. Built a road gap and am putting together a short film. Here's a teaser:

Also drilled and riveted fresh rubber to staple the headliner to, and installed that.
