Rear ARP extended wheel studs after snapping a stock one.

Looks like you used a bearing and the lug nuts to tighten those down into place? I ask because I have been having a heck of a time finding the right bearing or an impact that could tighten them down...

This took place over the past month: (Flickr isn't playing nice so visit http://www.hano-Motorsports.con for pictures)

1) painted the firewall, installed the hydrobooster, removed and sold the QA1 k-member

2) sold the Griggs FCAs (front control arms) + Koni struts + Griggs coil overs back to

3) installed the MM tubular k-member and ran into fitment issues (one FCA was off-spec)

4) installed replacement FCA, '00 Cobra R steering rack, painted and swapped in some 96-98 spec spindles, re-installed S550/GT500 brake kit with BRAKE PADS for the first time since mid last year!!

5) realized I have to take everything apart to drill the spindles for the bumpsteer kit

6) re-installed old tie rod ends for now to keep it a roller

7) realized my calipers were in upside down because I had the bleeders pointing down, swapped sides and now my GT500 wheels don't fit... What the French toast...

Setbacks? by oldawgnewtrikz, on Flickr

8) put on some 1" spacers and laughed at the stance yo

9) got cold chills when I realized my Jongbloed Racing Wheels might not fit, scurried into the attic to retrieve one, bolted it up and let out a sigh of relief.

Ah I need that motivation to get mine started for the first time in 3 years hopefully shortly. Tried cranking on it two nights ago till my buddy said he saw a flash of light and it would not crank right afterwards. Turns out a fuse basically exploded into 3 pieces was all it was. I got it replaced today and I am going to check a couple of things today spark related and maybe tonight I will have a video of mine running for the first time in 3 years.

I thought it was 4, but I found some pics that were dated showing it was only 3. Not sure, too long at this point no matter what.

Well hey at least its something easy. Why did you park it?

Ive been fighting stupid issues on my new build which ended up being a bad chain tensioner.

Don't go jinxing me like my buddy that now on his 3rd trip over keeps saying "we will have it running in no time" only for us to find some other problem. It was parked after I had an accident and then decided to take the time while it was down to do a few things I had always wanted to. That simple idea got a little out of hand and now 3-4 yrs later I have pretty much dicked with, change, modified, improved nearly everything on the car so I will not be surprised if tonights(hopeful) crank session ends with me needing to figure out a new problem. Never know 3rd time might be the charm but karma tells me it will find something else we have not thought of yet.
