your car the last couple of days has given me a lot of inspiration to clean up my car. Hope all goes well. What are your plans.?

 

just re do the motor, nothing crazy, just keeping it simple, stock ls bottom, with arp bolts, GSR head, with ITR cams, and GSR LSD trans.

The bay is getting a wire tuck, brakeline tuck, and hopefully a local can get my clutch line, and fuel line mocked up. also getting resprayed.

Now my biggest debate is what to do with the motor, either paint, or just clean really good.

 

dahm that sucks well ull have it running soon clean hatch i have a 98 cx vsm i wana red one tho...

 

to bad you arnt close, ive wanted a VSM for a while lol

unless you are up for a road trip to joga lol

 

looking good so far, hope to see more

 

Nice VC.

 

thanks guys

 

harness about 60 percent done

More updates:

Where im putting the fuse box, it was either here, or in the glove box, and i use my glove box waaaay to much.




and 1 bay pic. should have my an fittings for the brake lines, and fuel lines anyday now

 

damn i spent alot, and it seems like there isnt **** here to show for it lol

 

after playing around a little bit, i think this is the route im going with the brake lines. gotta get that last little bend out, im using an old school bender.

now im going to start polishing these

 

this is one productive friday.

 

im excited to see where this goes...

 

thanks man

 

excellent start can't wait to see it get cleaned up

 

thanks for the compliments, i have the engine bay all sanded down and prepped for paint, id like to shave it, but time, and lack of a welder has me from doing it this year. painting the bay most likely battleship grey.

i also have the interior brake lines mocked up, need to get some more line, and finish them off.
