SHE'S BACK HOME!!!


just back from the bodyshop... fully painted in epoxy primer
there's still some points that need some minor attention, but the big hunka work has been done
like complete new longs (inner and outer)

she looks sooooo sweet all dressed in white

finally I can start BUILDING instead of tearing down

this is great.
I'm so happy for you.
the big tide has turned...

good for you
it looks wonderful!

brant

Hm.. Something seems to be...missing...

i cant wait for the day when i can start putting it back together also

Just don't put your feet down before you come to a complete stop.
Cheers, Elliot

well... it wasn't gentle




RJ mount is in!

Did you even sleep last night?

That is some nice welding, congrats on the car!

OH MY GOD HAS PAUL SEEN THIS!?



Get some clothes on it, before it catches a flu.

Sweet

'bout time you welded that engine mount on! Its been a year since I drug it over the pond to you!

Looks great in white but where are the fender, dude??

May be a bit hard to see, but if you look in the first pic, theres a big ass box on next to the car (driversside)
The new "plastic" fenders are in there

And the front stock steelies are in the 8th pic
Still in factory primer

I hope you didn't get the engine mount in too high.
When I installed one the bottom was right down on the flange where the floorpan meets the firewall. It looks like yours is at least 1/2" up.

Ouch!

yep... it is 1/2 an inch up
Brad advised me to mount it 1/2" up if I was going to run headers on a low car to make sure I got enough ground clearance...

Oh man Jeroen, when I saw that post about it being too high my stomach flipflopped. I had visions of trying to grind those welds.

Now, that looks Mavvvelous.

Dave

I figured, worse case scenario, I could put a 1/2" washer under the mounts and use longer bolts to lower it back

I did forget one thing though... I should have grinded a vent hole at the bottom center of the welded piece
I fear it's going to be a water trap (I'm not using any engine tin, so there's quite an exposed scoop )

well, instead of just sittin' here glaring at my monitor, I got off my ass and put the (old) engine in the car for mock up
went in smooth and fits like a glove
just took me 20min (no help) so that explains the smug grin

Looks awesome! Keep the pics coming...great job!


Makes me want to start a 6 project next.......
but the 'BIG TIV' is first in line!..
