Any disagreements?

 

sounds pretty solid, my only suggestions is a ati super harmonic race damper, better safe than sorry. Also I am iffy about xtd clutches, personally I would go with clutchmasters or act. Otherwise seems like a good setup, good luck with the build.

 

Yeah was thinking about clutch masters or exedy twin disc...thanks for the support

 

So this what it looked like when i first nought it

 

So i bought the shell for $700 and it sat that way for 9 months until i moved back into my home when my tenants finally left. So first thing was to strip it down

 

So did some work last night prepping the engine bay for paint, did all my fabrications before painting. I got the wire tuck going and all my relocations. So onto the pics!!!

 

Heres a better pic of the bay painted

 

no prob man. coming along nicely, $700 for a clean ek shell is a good deal

 

Thanks.. yeah didnt have that much body work to do either

 

So did some more fabs last night and got the body work all done, only a couple of minor dents to fix. After all that got done its off to paint.

 

So car is out for paint should be done in a week or so. Took it to a local shop here in Victorville CA, my brotha eddie hooked ne up with his friend freddy to spray my car for $1000 2 stage, plus the jams. So only updates i have are parts taking over my garage and the valve cover make over. I will get pics up sometime this weekend.

 

Keep us post d on the new updates.
