I lower the car back down a little bit...
Here are some shots of the rear... and whats inside the trunk.. Now that the tail pipe is in the car I will cut and reweld it to fit properly and I will make the dump pipe for the wastegate while i'm at it. I just spent over an hour looking for the hose coupler that goes between the oil tank and the line from the oil cooler, hell if i can find it, I last saw it when I painted the oil tank a few months ago, this is going to bug me all weekend while i'm hunting Pheasants.

I feel sorry for those rear tires. They're gonna be toast. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) See you on Monday kids..... Hi Chappy, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) Car is looking good. I can't wait to see the finished product. Hope you get a pheasant on your hunt. Here's a picture of a flock of Turkey's I saw yesterday along the road. As soon as I got out of the car they were gone. Thanksgiving is getting close I need to carry a gun in the car. Tom BTW: For those you don't know Chappy is a world class wild life artist & sells prints of his art work. I have a turkey & pheasant one hanging in my office. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

Nice dinners...
I spent a good part of the day today searching for my oil line to the oil tank with no luck. I am so pissed, I have found every part to this car so far because I kept everything in order and well marked in ziplocks and plastic bins. Somewhere I lost this when I painted the oil tank, the thing that really bugs me is I saw it not long ago in one of the bins. Anyhow I just purchased a new one so I can get this thing on the road. I hooked up the cables to the clutch,speedo and gas and adjusted my parking brakes. Tomorrow I should be able to get back on pace, it wont be long now... |

shoehorn and some butter - it fits Group: Members Posts: 1,547 Joined: 23-January 06 From: Broomfield, CO Member No.: 5,463 Region Association: None |
very cool project and great looking car... been following along for awhile now.
Question - are you going to use fans or something on the intercooler? Or how are you going to get air thru it and out the bottom? |

Answer to your ?...
I have 2 - 7" fans pulling the air through the intercooler and exits out the bottom of trunk through the transmission cooler. I cool two things at once. Attached image(s)

Got a few things done today, closing in on getting this thing fired up.
Transmission shifter and CV's all attached, It's going to be a bitch getting those CV bolts safety wired around those HE's. Starters in and getting the heat control valves hooked up. I will try to get the fuel lines sorted and attached tomorrow and figure out if I am going to move the battery out of the trunk back to the engine bay. I am starting to get a little excited.

Thats a vacuum line that runs up to the BOV, I dont have most of the lines tied up or secure yet, that one may move.
Slowed down a bit today I am cleaning up the rear window for installation, and fixing the broken grid for the defogger. I hope to get the sail vinyl on today as well as the door windows. |

I am getting sick of all this refurbishing, I did install the rear window today but found my time was again consumed with cleaning parts to install.
I like fabricating stuff, wrenching things and tuning, I hate this cleaning and refurbishing, I would of been further ahead time and money wise if I had just bought everything new. I am sure the car will be running next week but I cant wait.................I hope to run out of things to do soon........... |

Qarl are you going to make it up here and chase roooo's with Darla and I.....
I had to fabricate new brackets for the Fuel filter and Accumulator, and mounted the pump. I have the wiring cleaned up and simplified. I was surprised at what a mess it was, when I fabricated this setup originally I didn't spend much time on the finer things so I have had to spend a bit of time mending and reorganizing the wiring and hoses. I ate something bad tonight, this is the second time in a week I've gotten something bad from a takeout order, Im going to bed now sick, I will post pictures of my progress tomorrow, there should be much to see again. |

I am calling it a night.. made some progress, getting close to finishing up all the engine essentials that will make it come alive!
Next is getting the vinyl on the sides, trim pieces, oil tank and lines, door windows and panels, seat belts, and windshield and trim. Then I think I am all done.... Wait a minute, I have to make a dump pipe for the wastegate, and fix the tail pipe, and finish the rockers and the front valance and put the bumpers on and install the rear hood latch release cable cut down the rear reflector hook up the tail light and licesence plate lights wires and O SHIT FORGET IT , now I'm bummed still a lot to do......

I scratched few more things off the to do list today.
I cut and fit the rear ghost reflector, I painted the rear panel black so it filled in the outside edges, it ties into the tail lights better this way. I installed the Engman cable release, cleaned up, buffed, and mounted the bumper. Tomorrow I plan on hooking up the battery to check on the wiring, finishing up and tightening the fuel lines. And hopefully get the vinyl on. Once the oil tanks in, I could start this bitch........ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I would of taken a better picture of the rear but there was a pile of leaves outside the garage door that would of blown in.
