Now with the body im planning on new trim peices (not installed untill paint though, the panels at the bottom of the front and rear fenders. Also fixing the rust/dents and laying the whole car in primer. I also need to get my new pass. door hung before spring.

1 more thing that I will be working on is a cage for the rear. Not looking for one up front right now since this will be my weekend cruiser/racer but I will need a little comfort on my way to the track/car shows.

Interior im looking for a nice looking (nothing drastic) steering wheel, and a nice set of racing buckets so I can fab up the brackets and get them in with a center bar on the roll cage for some 5 point harnesses. Deleting the rear seats also.

Heres a few pics from when I parked it for winter. This is what i will be working with. http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2100877460

you keeping it now? im glad to hear it!

 

[hottscennessey]

awesome, what are your goals?

 

[1_slo_92]

Goals as of .57 trim well no goals really Im going to actually push it to see what she can hold. I know it's around 400+ but what is really plus?

Heres some little updates of what I did last night. Just really got it all out and lying on the ground. Im probably going to take off the front end within the next week to spray it. (The fenders and doors are already finished)

But as of last night I took all the turbo/harware out (DP, intercooler/piping ect.) and I ditched the catch can. Im also working on the wiring harness right now. Trying to figure out a way to "tuck" it behind the motor on the firewall so it's not up top in that noticiable of a place. But I don't want to worry about the heat getting at it. Might get some fireproof hosing and split it open and lay it over the front of the harness if I can't get it in a "good" location to me.

Will start on coil packs tomorrow night. Forgot to mention im moving them to firewall.

But anyways heres the pics. If anyone can point out what the hell that hose with thats capped off is please inform me. It was done before I got the car but im not sure what it is. Oh it's on the backside of the pass side of the block.

just some pics of the intercooler and if you look closley at the left side of the pic that is oil draining out of the intercooler!! Can you say bad seals?! There is the hose pic, and also the pic of where the charcoal filter used to be. Pretty pointless but o well thats what I have done in 2 hours last night. Heres 1 more of the upper piping, Hopefully I run into some loot soon so I can go ahead and get my MAFT-PRO here. Anyone know how hard the install is?

 

[Reign_Maker]

Glad to see you saving her... Nice job!

 

[1_slo_92]

Thanks man, figured I would keep it and hopefully 1 day run at least a 10sec 1/4 mile run. Then I'll be so scared of it, that I will drive it maybe twice a year LoL jp. We'll see where it takes me. I'd love to keep it and hand it down to my son one day but only time will tell. Have to watch the other dumba$$'s on the road to make sure she survives that long.
