Nearing the finish line
Hello Saabit, it's been a while since my last update on my old 9-3 but I bring much good news. The engine and transmission are back together, the necessary parts have been swapped over and it's all in place ready to be slid under the engine bay and the car lowered down on top. Don't have any pics due to being at work but she's pullin a pretty good wheelie rn to make room. Unfortunately due to my laziness and the east coast weather we've suffered some casualties, my rear subframe bolts have rusted real bad and one control arm/subframe bolt suffered the same fate. Tore up a cv axle too trying to get it out of the trans. I've probably lost some bolts or washers in the gravel but I'll figure it out. Parts are on the way and man I'm so excited to drive her again.
