Anybody know how hard it would be to blend black if we decide to do this. I wouldnt think it would be an issue since its the same paint and isnt faded. Just thought I would ask.

Wow i haven't updated this in a long time. Not much has changed with the car. I have just been collecting parts. Heres some pics.
My RPS clutch kit.
One piece aluminum drive shaft
Fidenza flywheel
Koyo Radiator
New wire harness from Horse Power Freaks
I'm still waiting on the good doctor to send me my full Maft Pro kit (backordered), and Derek at PowerTrip Performance is building me a FFIM. I will be sure to post pics when they arrive.

I think were about ready to install the driveline!!!! Man I have got to get out there with ya. You should also ask julio about the 89+ bumper they pulled off a car. And did you finish polishing what we started?

Julio, whats up with the bumper??
I am going to try to finish polishing the rest of the engine parts this weekend. The motor is looking pretty good though:naughty: . I can't wait to get that FFIM on it. I'll take some pics soon.
Oh, and i forgot to add that i sent my exhaust manifold out to JDub who is ceramic coating it for me. Can't wait to get that back so i can get the turbo mounted up.
interesting....
the bumper is in pretty good condition, it just needs to be repainted cause the paint is chipping, i'll get some pics this weekend, brian needs to remind me tho.
might need to get some 89+ foglights and crap too tho and the nose piece for the turn signals, we got pretty much everything u'll need for the front conversion. Bumper, turnsignals, grills, nose piece...
and brian i got a something for u
, u might know wat it is already.

Cool, get me some pics. I'm hopeing to make it down for the meet in a few weeks so i could get it from you then. I'm not worried about the paint, i can repaint it. I still have a bunch of other parts to paint anyway. I'm not sure what else you have for me though:icon_conf
I would come down Friday but Amy has to work on Saturday. I will be on my way down after she gets out Saturday. We should be there aroung 9ish. I was hopeing to take the vett but we may need to take Amy's suv so i have somewhere to put all of the parts i'll be taking home. Where is the party, your house?
WOW...that looks really nice!!! I can't believe I missed this thread all this time...LOT of work so far..
Was the coating done by JDub here on SM?? How much?

BACK FROM THE DEAD!!!!!!! So, i finally got some ambition to start working on the car again. After all of the body work i've done i've only learned one thing. I hate body work!! So after taking a break from the car for a while i decided it was about time to get back to it. I started out by mounting up my exhaust manifold, turbo, and intake manifold.
I cut a big hole in the trunk to install all of this good stuff. One of my friends is making me a piece of sheet metall to weld into the trunk so i can mount the fuel cell and battery.
Got some new solid motor mounts from MDC.
Got a new pair of adjustable trailing arms from A1 Racing.
Got this to help out with the burnouts.
So in the next couple weeks i hope to get the clutch and tranny installed. Get a new break booster, break master cylinder, clutch master and slave cylinder. Run new lines, then get the motor in. I decided to sell my MAFT Pro and go AEM. If anyone out there is selling one please let me know.
