Well its been awhile since I've posted here, Im still alive (obviously) and have a few updates to share. Got sidetracked messing with some hondas but finally got in gear and put some work into the car. Finished up the shave, bondo work, and finally painted the bay. Engine was dropped in yesterday along with the tranny and driveshaft. Need to work on the wiring on both the body harness and engine harness. Interior still need to be painted and everything need to be put back in. I am very pleased how its came out, id share with you guys but since photobucket's changed to a gayass layout I cant seem to find how to upload the pics. What is everyone else using for uploading pictures?

Its been awhile since I've been on, recently took over the family business and finally getting in the flow of things. Starting to miss the feeling/sound/power of this car so I've been giving it a little attention lately. I have Almost all the parts now, missing only a few odds and ends. Still waiting to finish body work and paint. Engine bay's tuck and shave has been completed and painted, then engine install.

What kind of cam gears are those?
PS- you mentioned that the motor grenaded due to a fuel pump issue- what happened?

Seems like im finally back! responsibilities came up I had to attend to.

Good thing is I have made a lot of progress, hoping to have the car ready before the Import Alliance meet here in Charlotte on 7/30. Will get pics up soon, finally got a iphone so updating this should be Much easier, still getting used to having a camera.
