Brother you have got the patience of a saint. I'm enjoying watching the transformation but I can honestly feel your frustration. Good luck.

Not the video I was hoping to post but it's progress. Turns out i need new front calipers since the bleeder valves broke off. I needed (for my sanity) to see this thing move and here it is!! I'm hoping itll be ready to test drive this weekend.

Note: it runs rough in the start of the video because the PCM has to relearn every time I fire it up. I have to unhook the battery every time because it still thinks all 4 doors are open since the interior isnt even close to being together.

Would've scared me too! Hahahaha. That definitely doesn't help you feel secure in it. No front brakes, doors open, and a not bolted seat definitely don't give the warm fuzzies. Lol

It's going to sound close to that when it's done. It's getting a 4" flow through exhaust!

It's a 6" Fabtech that the previous owner cranked to a 8" in the front. I'm going to level the tear soon and get rid of the ghost trailer look.

I'm keeping the 6 lug and going to step up to 37/13.50R20 Cooper STT pros at some point soon. Keeping with the 20x10 wheels though. I like the look of the 20x12s but the offset makes them rub and this thing is going to see some use!

I think this thing is going to sound good! I had to stop on the exhaust since I'm out of gas but these are some big pipes!

I had to drop the evap canister to be able to drill a top bolt for the DS exhaust hanger but she's now in there! Just need to tack this up, bend a few hangers and burn it in!

That middle leaf spring looks a little rusty!

Keep an eye on her.
