Well, time for a couple updates.

Upper Control Arms for the SC300 subframe showed up. They only cost me $45.

Rear Suspension parts arrived. (Haven’t ordered shocks yet. Or swaybar)

And, started welding practice with Fluxcore.

It didn’t turn out too bad. If it’s clear/dry in the morning I’m going to give the 6011 rods that I bought awhile ago a try.

I’ve got some welding coupons on the way, and I’m going to practice some more on Saturday. My intention is to (finally) start on installing the connectors on Sunday.

Got the connectors trimmed to their initial lengths. Since I have Wednesdays off, plus Turkey Day this Thursday, and Sat/Sun, I’m pretty confident I’ll have the connectors installed by this time next week.

Also….steering column is now out, as well as the Automatic Brake Pedal assembly. Power Brake Booster is also out too.

And the steering column is on the operating table for it’s surgery, for the Electric Power Steering unit that was liberated from a Scion FRS/Subaru BRZ.
