So it's done. It's ugly as hell but it's done.

Just have to wait for the gf to get home to properly bleed the brakes and then it'll be time to test everything. I'm positive they'll be at least 1-2 leaks with all those fittings but we'll see.
It seems this is going to be somewhat of a never-ending story because I now have a small transmission leak coming out of the front of my bellhousing. After a bit of digging it's likely that I overfilled my transmission and blew the front seal. Easy fix, hard to get to. Probably looking at around $400 to have a shop fix it. It's just a small drip so I'm just gonna run it for now and keep an eye on it. I should've been more patient adding the last few quarts but I was paranoid about driving it around with as low as the dipstick was reading.
There's also a small whine coming from the rear when I let off the gas but I don't think it'll be an issue. By some miracle there's no vibrations at all in the driveshaft so the pinion angle is good as is. Need to figure out why my swaybar isn't lining up quite right but for now it's functional and that's I care about, the bushings are just aren't flush. I will say the steering is unbelievably better with all the upgrades. I can't wait to throw on some subframe connectors, a rear sway bar, some 235/45s and get this thing on a course.
