^Thanks Aaron.

Alright! here's a nice update!

today i decided to start test fitting the parts and i got a little carried away because i wanted to take some pics for you guys.

the first three pics show the rear sub-frame mount stud that i removed from the AWD car, after removing the smaller and shorter FWD stud i had to enlarge the hole a little bit so the AWD stud would drop in. the 3rd pic is showing the difference in size, i still need to cut the second FWD stud off that is pictured to the right.

the fourth pic is showing the difference between the AWD rear wheelhouse on the left, and the FWD rear wheelhouse on the right.

the fifth picture is showing the AWD rear wheelhouse and strut brace installed.

the sixth picture shows the AWD rear sub-frame installed in my car

the seventh pic is showing the drivers side rear sub-frame front mount

the 8th & 9th pics are showing the outside view of the AWD rear wheelhouse and suspension

so the next few steps for me is to remove the remaining passenger side Z11A rear wheelhouse, clean up all the AWD body panels & parts that are to be installed on my car. try to figure out how to halt any further rust from forming before closing everything up by welding. does anybody have any suggestions? i was thinking of using a type rust stopping marine paint.

Zinc chromate is another good inhibitor
(I have a gallon of Zinc primer...it weights almost 25lbs!)

bro you didn't need to cut the entire floor that much or the entire bolt carrier out to remove the bolt. but might have been easier then drilling the entire sleeve.
