great to see that things are coming along nicely for your car. Have you worked out all the issues with the turbo, and etc.? Have you driven it boosted yet without any issue?

Later,
Chris-

 

TRANSFORMERS!!!!!! lol. That's awesome! I think i have a new idea for my personalized plate! haha.

Yeah, we rewired the ignition with 10 guage wires instead of the tiny wires that i had used previously, and then we finished the timing. It goes right on into boost with NO issues! I haven't really pushed it yet though. The only "little" thing I need to do after paint and body is isolate and repair an oil leek. I can't wait!

 

i can only imagine how excited you are about this. congradulations.

 

Really Really Really excited!

 

Whatever happned. RISE FORM THE GRAVE hehehe

adam ran out of money by that I mean he got married now he has someone to spend the money for him.

 

******* shitty!!!! no updates after years lol. I know the feeling my turbo car is in the works come hell or high water or divorce its getting done lol!

 

aww man no new updates

 

I can't believe they just sprayed over everything in the engine bay. It looked like total crap. Other than that it looked like a worthwhile project. They were obviously in too big of a hurry though. Not a fan of the front bumper either...

 

and this my friends is absolutely, 100% the end result. maybe not right away, but it WILL happen.

 

Definately not a fan of the front airdam, or the excuse of it possibly being the "sleeper" rice. Just doesn't work, period. I also didn't like the crazy overspray. I mean, if you're going to put that many man hours into the body and other reconditioning, take the extra time to actually mask stuff off in the engine bay if you're not going to pull it out.

 

Update:

I filed my taxes and got a NICE return. My wife and I took the guy the rest of the money that I owed him - $1,100.00! So, supposedly, he'll get back to work on it by next week! I'm so stoked!

Oh, and we are definitely gonna 'fix' the front bumper. Double checked with the guy about that today while I was there, and he is gonna work on something to make it less nasty.

 

Paint and body is done! finally. Whatchya think?

 

I personally don't like the front but a job well done for sure. looks real clean.

 

that was quite a break from it lol... i actually think the front end looked nicer with the corners on it yeah pretty ricey but nice lol. other than that good job man i admire all the work put into it.

 

Looks a lot better than before with those corners. Still looks a little long in the nose, but that may just be the angle.

 

Awesome job! Now just get it sitting right...

 

thanks for the compliments. She's home now. for the first time in about 2 years. Hopefully i'll get some better pics up soon.
