yeah i'll have to try and snap some pics tomorrow. she def. is gettin big! i just wish i got to see her more. sucks not seeing her every day anymore but its def. for the best that her mother and i are not together.

i need to get a vc gasket for my ls too. i also need my timing cover gaskets as well so i can at least put on my lower cover. thats the only one i'm really worried about.

got some work done today, finished some wiring and put the bay back together just need belts and pcv hose, test fit the front end only reason bumper sags on driviers side is cause im missing the piece that holds it up

Herb heres my fan i was tellin you about

it has to spread the air around this place


it was lookin a little rough so touched it up



Finished cleaning the wiring up



took the rear end appart to see if there was any damage found a small dent and think the rear bumper support is pushed in a little not to worried about it atm il fix it later, also befor the trunk wouldnt lock on the latch so i had to take it appart and ram it in lock it then bolt it back together...... it will work tell i get a new latch





threw hood and bumper on lines up great

im actualy thinking about putting my seibon cf hood on it off my DA but since my DAs gonna be at my parents garage its up in the air kinda more flash on the car than needed



got alot done today

First i put the rearend together and it lines up alot better but i still cant open it and relatch it with out going threw a huge ordeal but il get it fixed later the rear bumper support is clearly pushed in will be fixed aswell lol




so the heat was rough on the cardboard and tape so had to make it better via pepsi can and sealer then sprayed it with 3m professional grade rubberized under coating ^^





brought over my Backpack of goodies small bolts and project kics r26 lugnuts with locking nuts



then i had to wash my dog(bobo hes in the bath^^) and my moms dog and some other small stuff for a couple bucks to get belts


then drove my DA for the last time sadness it was but i had so much fun lol leaned it out a little bit fixed my Fuel pressure and its was pulling so nice i had alot of fun


Then i got the belts on started it runs like a champ sept got a fould O2 sensor gonna try and get one by this weekend other than that everything going great


then had to convert my USDM HL connecters for my 1pcs for the fogs just got some connectors Red HOT for power Blue Cold for ground
pinned out the old connectors



Then had my mom Soder the wires together for me since she has more skills at it than i do lol




finished it up tonight, sept the corner lights/turn signals in front dont work.... will figure it out tomorow the only turn that works is passengerside bumper light the corners and other bumper lights dont work any ideas??

the one piece headlights are on my car, but the pnp harness just converts the stock headlight harness so you can use an h4h bulb without splicing or rewiring, still gotta rewire the foglights though. my front end looks boring at night without them.



edit: this is what im talking about if it makes any sense. lol
