Got it all together and went for a drive.I did something wrong because brake fluid is spewing out the passenger side.Ill figure it out later it's hot as f out right now.I took a few pics while I was out though.Car is really dirty right now.

[MENTION=17526]Poxenham[/MENTION] should come check out your progress with the brakes!!! Sucks about the brake fluid loss, did you determine the source of the leak?

Thanks guys.The banjo bolt was just snug,not tight enough and leaking.Must have drawn air in because no pressure at all at the pedal.Im gonna try bleeding it tomorrow.The FTR kit is awesome though,just my own mistake causing me problems.

I have been looking at rear shock braces. How was the fit and finish on that one?

Oh and you should add "auto cross build" or something like that to thread title so that people more interested in turning that going straight will find it with the search function etc etc

The Steeda strut brace is nice,I like it.Good idea about the thread title.
I finally started installing the lower arms.

Then I got some sway bar bushings and end links.MM pinion snubber and short antenna.

I plan on painting it in my garage so I used the trunk as a test panel.It came out ok....far from perfect but I'm happy enough.Hopefully the rest of the car will come out better.
