Hey doggy.

whats going on in this thread?

Import Alliance Summer 2011? He's coming he just doesn't know it yet. ;-)

 

Switch, I do kinda like those! A local used quarter-turn fasteners on his. A tad cleaner. I might try the quarter-turns if the body guy can't fix the bumper. If not, those straps are definitely an option! Thanks!

Joe - IA is not lookin good my friend, but YOU are! wooooooooo

 

I feel like a giddy school kid! Didnt know u were gonna be tuckin things . Wish i was still up there to help!

Small Update.

Downstar Inc. Hooked me UP! (Thanks Shocker Joseph). I'll post pics later

Busy day!!!
Started the day with the interior like this:

Took out heater core (will be put back in!!). Removed all SRS stuff.

Also, started on....


Downstar, Inc. Came through BIG time on some fresh fasteners and brake line tuck kit!!

Also got some OEM goodies from Majestic


My buddy Ricky (a.k.a. the project manager) came over and we got the ball rolling on the brake lines.



Sent this bad boy out to powdercoating today


Did some work on the trans.

Keep in mine, that was AFTER an hour or so with brake cleaner and a brush!
BUT, Some scotchbrite and carb cleaner, with a little bit of Cast Coat Aluminum:


Got a shitton of brackets and whatnot sandblasted (Thanks Richard). So I hit them with some etching primer, and some Engine Enamel


Finally, did some MORE painting:


BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Also placed an order with Go-Autoworks for a bunch of parts, and scheduled my Dyno Tune at Slomotion Motorsports. Now I have a deadline!

 

wow its starting to come together. Hope we make the deadline. You might actually have to start doing work by yourself tho. LoL

 

Weight, what?

 

Post pics of intake mani coated!

 

 

How much did all that hardware cost?

 

I ordered: Trans kit, Chassis kit, engine bay kit, strut tower nuts, and brake line tuck kit.

Came to $300 bucks, but he was running a special a while back so i got a deal!


Update:

Didn't have much time to do anything to her this weekend. Just organized some things with the motor. Started bolting things to the motor to keep the build a little more organized. Also started with some of the bolt kits. So fresh!

Out with the old, In with the FRESH


Put Sandwich adapter plate and Alternator on


Repainted TB and put the powdercoated intake Mani on.


Starting to get a good look at how she's gonna look in the bay!

 

looking good!!

Ballerrrrr
