my buddy gave me his old shell. him and i are bringing it back to life. more to come.
the shell
engine bay painted championship white. i may just do this color for the white on the body because it looks pretty good and i dont feel like screwing with a 3 stage paint.
re-powder coated the valve cover. if anyone needs cheap powdercoating for small items in the bay area, pm me.
LSD type r tranny
personal grinta steering wheel w/ a true grant quick release
hasport b mounts
fitting up the other side to the X. not welded in yet, but its almost there
F&F coilover and a turbo (my dogs name is turbo)
thats all for now.
a few new pixorz
UPDATE!!!
cleaned up the engine
got the seat and steering wheel in
had to fab up some brackets because the guy that had the car before me thought it was a good idea to take the stock ones out. i fitted up and designed the brackets and i had my buddy weld them in because i suck badly at welding.
its becoming a real car almost!
merry xmas to me! new tool box
finally put back the supercharger after i powdercoated the intake mani. still debating on wether or not to use it
got my dash from jegs in the mail today. its going to need some major trimming.
for some reason, the guy that had the car before me used a cutting torch on the upper strut plate.
cage is all wrapped up and the inside is almost ready for paint. probably a good 3-4 more hours of prep
so i made a plate. i still need to drill the holes in it and weld it in, but you get the idea.
i have a small update, and im kind of scratching my head at this one. i tried bolting up the engine mount to the engine and the way it sits is really crooked. the engine will tilted so far forward like this. anyone know whats up?
a few more pics of the supercharger. if any of you guys wants to buy it, ill cut you a sweet deal.
drilled and welded the upper strut mounts. didnt turn out as pretty as i had hoped but its strong as hell and a nice strut bar will cover all that nastyness.
tranny cleaned up
gas tank is welded shut. my buddy warped the sheet metal kind of bad so its going to take some banging and a nice skin coat of metal 2 metal filler to get it looking pretty again.
