1987 GE Auto To GTE Manual

[BlackDynamite]

Yeah we have all new vacuum hosing and running used vsvs....seriously we made 3 more tie wraps contraptions tonight, the clippy parts on the connectors looked like they were just PRIED off....but we're have alabama/texas rigging skills so we'll be fine:]

It would be a shame if it sat there any longer, we found another one in a junk yard just like it so we have our parts car...it's missing the hatch and the wheels:]

But hey if this joker runs i'll be surprised and happy:]

You don't happen to know the gear ratio of a NA rear end?

Oh and got the Intake manifold on getting it ready for flywheel(prolly going fidanza) unless you gotta good stock one laying around:]

timing belt, water pump, clutch and putting in the driveshaft

it'll be done soon, though darn Christmas and it getting exspensive

 

[BlackDynamite]

[BlackDynamite]

Well, i finally got some new pics!!!

Here are some of the parts we've gotten in.
Radiator

Slave Cylinder

GMB Water pump

Crp Timing Belt

Clutch Master Cylinder

Clutch Kit

Brand New Toyota OEM Flywheel

Here's some car body shots. Getting ready for paint.

Got the clutch pedal in, hooked to master cylinder. And YES! We cut the brake pedal instead of replacing it. Took like 10 minutes. Yeah...a WHOLE lot easier than replacing the whole pedal.;]

Put Flywheel on

Here is the Intake/Throttle body we're gonna Use

HAHAH got Yah Good.;]


Got to looking at some connections for the Auto Tranny. There are 2 of them that looked like they were cut and crimped together.....Which i know it doesn't matter since we're going to manual. But i don't won't anything to throw a code or anything break because of it.....Plus, I thought reignmaker would like to know:]

Also, i've removed the auto tranny ecu. Do i have to hook it back up? Will it throw any codes?

Ok more to come. Gotta get some clutch plate bolts and we're in business.

 

[cruisnhard]

It shouldnt throw codes.

 

[Reign_Maker]

Those cut wires are where they bypassed the neutral safety switch... Which in turn is why the car lunged forward and bumped my truck causing that little dent in the front, lol...

 

[ViR2]

why didn't your body shop removed any of the trim, windows and not even turn signals, fogs and rear's??? I wouldn't pay any money for such paint job...

 

[Reign_Maker]

ViR2: they are doing it themselves... They arent paying anyone to do it...

 

[ViR2]

so they can do better work then. Removing stuff like lamps, or turn signals are easier then taping them, and the end result would be much better.

I don't want to be rude and under evaluate your work, but it just looks like you have to do it once again to get good results

 

[BlackDynamite]

Oh We know, it's only going to be a temporary paint, because good paint jobs around here cost money. We're building the car then worry about paint later when we eventually go turbo.

 

[ViR2]

oh, in that case it's great. I just thought that this is final job

 

[BlackDynamite]

Yeah...But did it look like thats at a body shop? It's out rent-a-shed.LOL

More pics SOON, gotta get bolts to bolt pressure plate the flywheel. Can i get these at like advanced auto or should i get from dealer?

 

[Reign_Maker]

You can get them from the dealer or get some ARPs...
