some random shots..



you cali kids are lucky you dont have to deal with this ****... and rust. lol


i did this for fun lol if you see anything, let me know haha.
the car was like this most of the way when i bought it.


1.] the famous coolant puddle on the fan.
2.] stupid fvcking random stock intake tubes that need removed.
3.] 1 random spark plug wire. with label!
4.] thats a badazz battery tie down right?

lol




so i got bored today, being laid off with no un employment, makes you find things that are time consuming, and free. lol
i dont kow if i gained hp from this, but it def made it sound more throaty and SOUNDS stronger lol.



mark my lines....


i gave it some heat to make it cut easier. be careful, it WILL burn lollol (see, flames. lol)


what it looks like after im done.


and you cant even tell that its cut, i got that awesome stock look, and maybe a little better flow.


see you cant tell!




maybe today or sometime this week, trading my friend my stock exhaust for his header back bolt on exhaust, im excited for that.








this kid hates hondas, drives an el camino, but wanted to help clean the bay. lol


and i didnt read the haters comment about scrubbing the bay, i just randomly did it. here are some photos.






more updates as soon as they happen.

and for your info. im trying to blow this engine up, i have a secondary waiting to go in...


are you done here?
Hell, with access to people who can do the work on the cheap (or free even) why not switch up the front clip at the same time.

I mean, you're gonna be welding and doing body work and painting anyways... I would, but thats just me...

GL with the build!
