Default North Charlotte Wrenchfest 4/26 + 4/27

I've got a laundry list of things to do that may take me all weekend, anyone is welcome to swing by and lend a hand, shoot the shit, or see my car in it's natural habitat - on jack stands.

-Wheel bearings (x4)
-ARP wheel studs (x20)
-Offset ball joints up front
-Brake ducting
-Swap brake pads...fronts are pretty much toast.

Will also be pulling the stock seats and remaining carpet in anticipation of installing the Sparco's, but unfortunately the rails won't be here until Tuesday.

Lmfao! I don't like to think about the ratio of time driven vs. time spent on jack stands...

Don't think I'll get a chance to stop by; too many things going on this weekend. Have fun!

Good progress today, had to stop for the day since my wife made plans, but I'll be back at it early tomorrow.

Just a word of caution for you... they *will* move, and they will also wear out the opening in the upper control arms. I went through two sets of spc's and arms before going back to stock uppers and an offset lower.
