Thanks guys, some more stuff showed up. Still waiting on my axle housing but its blasted and cut down, just needs the ends welded and then it'll get straightened and I can pick it up.
Got my brakes from drift office thank you bob. They arent big by s2k standards but they are pretty big for corollas.
My new normal panhard bar, the other one was for a supra axle and some new spacers since the supra sized ones are arent the same as the mounts on my axle now.
Axle housing after blasting and the axles.
More updates later this week, I gotta weld my coilovers and put the hubs/brakes etc on, still waiting for some RCA's and stock knuckles as I lent my to someone and forgot about it. If everything goes well this week and my clutch comes back I can actually bolt it all together and put the motor/trans in for good, at least I hope so.

It rolls!
But theres an issue. I welded my coils, painted them, put the caliper brackets on and torqued em. Torqued my rotors to the hubs, packed them full of fresh grease and got the nuts snug. Torque the caliper adapter on, and look at that......The bracket is f@#king bent!! Well after looking at it a while and thinking of ways to fix it I realize its not the bracket but the f@#king spindle itself if f@#king crooked!!!!!!
So now I have to cut my coilover off that spindle, find a new one to cut and blast and weld it back on. Another small thing thats lame is the wheels need a slip on spacer to clear the coilover too it looks like. On to the pics.
Cusco RCA's from a buddy.
Studs for the front
Axle painted
Coilovers welded
The knuckles and brackets were blasted and painted along with the coils.
Getting closer
Brakes on
And on the ground and rolled outside, first time that cars been outside the garage in years.
Also got the flywheel back from competition and torqued it on, bolted the plate on and next is the trans. After the tranny blanket gets attached I can slide the motor in and hopefully not have to take it out for anything. Fuel system and brakes are coming next most likely, still have to decide and order a turbo then I can finish up the turbo kit too. Also I have been trying for a couple months now to find clean fenders and it seems like its a lost cause, I can't hang my bumper till I have fenders and without the bumper I can't mount the intercooler and start the piping. Seems like all of a sudden corolla stuff is gone.
