next up was the ati damper and along with that went checking for true tdc. Was spot on so i put on the pan and new flywheel and clutch along with the tranny. All this was done fri and sat. On monday i towed the car into word dropped it in and towed it back to the bodyshop. Car was painted on...
next up was the engine crank was machined already, block was prepped and bagged but not together. First up was paint then crank and pistons with the rods. Next we fabbed up a solid trans mount
finally an update... so i decided to wait to assemble the motor as i did not want it sitting around waiting for the car. Finally i got a call last friday morning that the body work was done, so i went to the shop to check it out. The hard work was done and looked good.
so i' behind but it is worth it. After finding all that rust with a pick hammer i tore out the right side inner arch and patched it. The left side was done by the shop and fixed with the panel i removed from the other car. Now it's time for por 15 and seam sealer then i will have it undercoated.
here is a pic not in my carnage thread. this is the result of 23psi and no race gas. Had an over boost when i first put on my 74mm. Car was running at 18psi with the 67 on pump and all was well. When i switched to the 74 along with a much bigger intercooler the new lowest boost was 23psi...
ok so i went out and cut a rear section yesterday off a donor car. Also pulled out the windshield as there is a bit of rust on the top pillar. I also want to see if there is any behind the glass.
more pics the lower section shown here was totally rusted out came out good. Guy at the body shop is a metal worker so minimal bondo is used. first welded then shaped and ground down then bondo and primer up close looks stock and never touched.
so the car was supposed to be painted on for friday but we ran into some unexpected rust. The inner wheel arch and needs to be replaced so i will cut one out on sunday. Also the tripple plate clutch has arrived in cali, so i should have it for fri till then more pics.
