That sucks about the paint cracking.

Yeah, WTH... That was after the first layer of clear was on for 24hrs. It happened after I lightly sanded it and applied a second coat of clear.

Brakes are all fitted and blead. Pedal is better than my stock ghia disk/drum setup. Parking brake is solid thanks to an adapter to the 944 assembly. I love the simplicity of this parking brake setup compared to the stock drums!

I don't know why that last pic is upside down...

Here's the front setup. Thanks to Ethan Dunlap for help pressing in the studs. :thumbs:

I finally got it off the stands and on the ground to find out that the front tires were rubbing too much... I was afraid of that. I'll have to do some adjusting on the coils, camber bushes and maybe install adjustable strut tops to pull it in a little more. I'm happy with the look though.

So... my front fenders need massaging. Anyone have luck with a DIY method? The problem is the two fenders are slightly different from each other. Presumably different aftermarket vendors. The shape and location of the arch on the pass side is a lot closer on the rear edge than the drivers side. :furious:
