Subframe is a local guy's, TSS from tssfab.us and I painted it myselfWhat rear subframe is that? It's beautiful
Lately it's been hard to stay focused on one thing with this car, I just bounce around from loose end to loose end trying to wrap stuff up. While I enjoy mixing it up, it gets frustrating not being able to just do one thing without depending on all these other things to be done. I guess so long as the parts pile is getting smaller I can call it progress

I cut out the quick connect from one of the spare lines and cut the hose down to join them, I'm a little sketched out by the hose connection so this may be revisited

By cutting the rubber tabs off the outrigger I made the gap too large for the bushing and it could move around, solved that problem by adding Outback plates to the bottom and it's tight again

Trying to get the underbody work all done so I can drop the car back down so I got the shift linkage in and replaced all the bushings with Kartboy

Making it extra super short shift causes a lot of problems but nothing a cutoff wheel can't handle, center axle and heat shields can get installed now

Got the rear sway bar in and decided to test fit the muffler and see if it plays nice with everything, looks like fitment is perfect despite the huge 3" piping

The subframe is lacking the 3rd exhaust hanger for the axleback so I had to install the midpipe for it to hang, the subframe heat shield tab is also nonexistent so I need to figure something out for that too

I wasn't sure how I would like the angled cannon look and I'm still not sure if I like it, I don't hate it so I guess it's good

I turned my attention to the engine to complete the exhaust, TD04 turbo is in but I'm trying to get the oil separator installed while I have access to the block drain that sits super close to the turbo

That reminded me to swap the heater core hoses from the 2.2 and another list of more stuff to do before the downpipe can go on

Positioning the oil separator so the drain line doesn't go uphill had me under the car for a minute and I noticed I still haven't connected the power steering lines to the rack, then I got to installing the reservoir and cooler
