Stock_LS

damn !!! what a nice long story here... mad props to all the efforts and hard work u put down man. I wont be surprise if you buy back some of your parts too off craigslist... Lol

berb_15

Indeed

Thanks man it's come a longneck, it's been fun

Yea I'm paranoid to take it anywhere now...

Yea that's the one, it's brand new, Im pretty sure it has a pinhole in it but it's prob fixable

Thanks I've put a lot of time into it thus far. Yea that's the ongoing joke that I prob bought half of my old stuff back haha.

OldSkoolDa91

what do you want for that rad? maybe we'll work something out here. i just gotta find a rad repair shop around here. used to know of one but idk if its still there or not anymore

So as much as I want to get this thing looking good, I have an appointment set to get it tuned with my cams in on Sept 1. I'm going to be in Chicago all next week so I decided I should get started on this since my timing tensioner bolt head was stripped... Took about 2 minutes to get the bolt out with the right tools







That's as far as I've gotten. I stopped so I could clean my new cams up (surface rust ) and pick up some 98+ headlights and ordered a new timing tensioner bolt today. Hopefully more updates to come.

You can have it, I was just going to scrap the aluminum... I think there's a shop on top of radio hill. Just google it.

OldSkoolDa91

sweet. i'll figure out some place to take it. and figures, you'll be here for the retune like 2 days after i leave for vacation. that sucks!! never fails that everytime you're here we don't get to hang out

Dannyx321

Keep it up man, Fawk thieves

Android_db8

It's coming along nicely. Keep it up.

great job, i don't think i have the patients to gather parts and put everything back together
Also, about how much do you think this project has cost you? including buying it back from the insurance company?

ojoemamao4o

**** columbus theives, they stole my teg, gone for 3 months, i got it back with the built ls engine and tranny! goodluck, im about as far as u into the rebuild

berb_15

I'm actually getting it tuned in Columbus. I really wanted to take it to Innovative but it's so hard to schedule these things with a car you shouldn't be driving. Not to mention the really long drive...

thanks man

thanks

I'm really not sure to be honest, I'd day maybe $5000? I bought a lot of used parts this time around vs all new

Wow your motor and tranny weren't built then someone swapped a built motor and tranny?! that's awesome! (I think) Do you have a build thread??

berb_15

The crower 404s

beautiful car man

berb_15

thanks man, going to try to clean the exterior up here in the next few weeks

hcenteno21

How much were you trying to sell it for? It seems like you have gone to hell and back getting this thing they way it is! Not to mention the time you have spent.

chrisbmx68

I require a ride at h2o so that I can be fully converted from the vw/bmw scene

berb_15

I was looking for 5600 bottom dollar but after I fix the exterior up and after the installation of the new cams I'm going to be looking for a little more

Most definitely. How's the rabbit coming along? I'm pumped for H2O!

berb_15

Some of you won't like this update but I've always liked the 98+ front end so I decided to grab one. I found the lights locally and got the bumper off ebay. The bumper looks like good quality, we'll see how fitment is. Excuse the partially finished house with mismatched furniture

hondad6

It is not miss matched it is art deco. All of the best designers are doing it. Btw the bumper looks to be great quality. Where did it come from? My bumper is cracked bad. I also need the rear bumper cover it is atrocious too.
