Where did you get those swaybar saddles (super sweet!)? Also, you need to have a spacer made to move the swaybar about 1/2" off the frame, or your swaybar will kiss the frame rail, kink the sheetmetal and wreck your paint. To check to see if this is the case, loosen your strut collar all the way and jack up a front control arm till it is level. Then check sway bar to frame clearance. Then raise the control arm a couple inches more to simulate a hard bump. If the swaybar stays clear of the frame rail, disregard this discussions.

Very well done build.  Good attention to detail.  You make me want to build another one. 

Where in up state S.C.?

Greenville

 

Amazing build! Definitely one of the cleanest builds there is. I'd be afraid to drive it around.

 

What is your profession btw? That garage is super clean too :D

Wow nice! How far off the floor can you get the car now?

 

nice sway bar bushings, by the way.

Found these on ebay.

Thanks for the heads up, I will fabricate a spacer.

I now have the R200 LSD in the car after replacing the seals, replating the hardware and installing a new differential mount.

Been a while since I updated my build and I am still working on small details of the car.

 

Suspension and brakes are done and some of the interior is in back in the car.

 

Made new main wiring harness rubber tad holders
