My first issue was I was missing one of the 1/4" aluminum screws for the front suspension, on top of that, the screws that came with the kit are of such poor quality, they have mis-matched head diameters.

Anyways, while I was waiting on that, I built the transmission, to find it was so tight it would barely turn, worked on that, got it so it is sorta acceptable to run, then I go to put on the slipper clutch and find out that I have the defective top shaft. It's machined to far in, so when you put on the slipper hub it just bottoms out on the motor mount.

I again called associated, told them about my concerns about the tight tranny and they said the fix is to just run it. Next I tell them about the top shaft, so they ended up sending me out a new B4 top shaft. At that point, once I go the new part, I just stuck it in the box and tried to forget about the whole thing....lol....as I never have a shortage of projects to work on.
So....rainy day today here in central Florida, so I decided to dig it out, I'm gonna finish this car and run it.

BTW....what's up with the glow in the dark ballcups and bellcranks? I forgot all about those until today.
