Quite easy actually. I got a hole saw set from harbor freight. The biggest saw in the set is the perfect size. I actually measured twice for the first time in my life and it turned out nice. The only thing I'd replace it with is the greddy clear cover.

do you remember what was the size, is it this kit with the 5"

It'll get there. I'm hoping to finish the wiring tomorrow, we'll see how that goes.

Yep, that's the kit. Low, low price of 4.99

A measuring tape, sharpie and some luck, that's about it. Measure across the centerpoint of the cam gears and mark that on the edge of the timing cover backing plate or valve covers or something. Just give yourself a point of reference.

Timing Cover is very neat Zach well done!

The black on the engine everywhere is a good idea as it won't really show dirt that well.. I like it a lot.. Good job painting that alternator with out gettin any of the brushes painted.. It looks good..

Zach,

The car is coming along very well! I'm really glad to see progress on this project!

I'm expecting a ride when I get home in December at bone daddys.

It's not paint, it's powdercoat, and I disassembled the alternator to the bare housings to coat it. A little tedious, but the proper way to do it.

Sure thing man, I'm getting really excited to have a fun car running again. Probably won't stop smiling for a few months after it's running.

Making some more progress as time permits. Found time to fabricate a brake master cylinder stopper and brackets for my coolant overflow and PS reservoir. Went ahead and powdercoated them satin black while I was at it. Starting to organize the wiring bit by bit, too. Also hit my Koyo with scotch-brite. The polished look didn't quite fit with my engine bay, plus requires maintenance. Let me know what you think.

Mounted my Intercooler today and decided that the factory 7m oil cooler was going to become the power steering cooler, so I mounted it as well.

 

[jmcboost]

That looks great! Love the green. Do you have a check valve for the vacuum to the brake booster? I learned the hard way on that one.

 

[yung2ner]

Yea the Koyo rad deff looks better not polished in your car. Mine is polished but goes well with everything else that is polished . Great work on the car! Hope to see it done soon. You've set me on buying the CF race seats from Grimsta too, $400 a piece can't be beat!

 

[Supra_Villan]

i did the same thing for the ps cooler!

 

[NokaoiMK3]

lovin it man keep up the good work!!

Yep, just haven't put it in yet.

I really like the sexy green accents throughout the car.. Really make your car different from the rest.. Also i dig those cam gears.. Are those the JUN cam gears or did you make them yourself? By the way my fav color is green so thats why the green is so "sexy" to me..

Big time the green looks raw!
