I Would have had a really nice update last week with lots of exciting new pictures, but i decided to wait on putting the motor in, until i could lock the doors(doors are off for body work). There are plenty of things to show you right now, but i havent taken pictures of them, and i would rather wait til the engine is in. So updates with pics should be up very soon.
I do have one update i can share right now. I got a letter from the city telling me "the city has received a complaint about "discarded" vehicles on your property. A vehicle is considered to be discarded if it is not operable on public street or is partially dismantled. Discarded vehicles ad NOT allowed to remain on private property unless they are kept within a building, for example, a garage. Outdoor storage of major parts of an automobile or motorcycle is also deemed a public nuisance and is prohibited by the code."
So, someone in my neighborhood thinks my car is a piece of trash.....That hurts

Finally, i have some pics up for you. These were taken a couple days ago and a few more things have been put on and are filling up that empty space! But i havent had much time to work on it with graduating soon and making sure my grades stay up. I spent a lot of time removing rust on the interior, and the engine bay had to be really cleaned up, sanded and painted before putting the motor in, so its taking longer than expected.
But basically i got the engine in on its mounts (tranny mount is being modded right now), intercooler fitted, radiator hooked up, and i found a nice electric fan sitting in my auto tech, so i snagged that and its on there too.
I got my top mount exhaust manifold today, but its a t3/t4 flange instead of a t25, so im just going to upgrade to a T04E, and an external 38 MM gate next week.
Projected finish date: Uncertain
More pics to come!

So i guess its time for an update:
SInce the last update i have reversed the center steering link, modified and bolted up the tranny mount, modified the coolant hard lines, have gotten about 1/3 of the wiring done, hooked up an electric fan, did some body work on the front end, painted and put on the grille, put the headlights back on, hooked up the clutch master and slave cylinders, put the brake master cylinder back on after being cleaned , Measured and dropped off the driveshaft to be shortened(should be done wednesday or thursday), ordered the T04E turbo, and 38 MM 15 PSI wastegate, and probably a couple other things im just not thinkin of.
Oh yeah and i found another good part i need in my auto tech class. Its just the upper radiator hose, but free is a better price than 10 bucks.
I only have a couple pics
Here is the "whats left" list to get the car to be capable of moving under its own power:
-Custom downpipe
-intercooler plumbing
-finish the wiring
-Custom turbo oil lines
-Heater core hoses
SHAZAM!!!!!
