Finally got around to taking my rear suspension apart and bead blasting, painting my suspension arms. Went black. I considered red, but after looking at purple so long I just didn't want them to stand out any more. Also gave the shop a good cleaning.

Made some progress on the engine. Timing belt done. TGV delete done. Perrin front pulley added. New seals and filters for the injectors. Still need to reconnect everything.

Mocked up my dirty radiator. Noticed a tweak on the drivers side. That's where my donor was hit. Light enough that the radiator doesn't leak. I think it will work for now.

Question: I'm sure I missed this, but my 2002 radiator sits like about 1 inch too high. The brackets are floating in space. Did anyone else have this problem? If I make spacers, will the body fit no prob, or will I just have to do something else?

Thanks in advance for your help.
