HOW MUCH IS THIS PROJECT COST you?

 

looking good, always love when the UPS man brings me boxes, just don't like it when the USPS man brings me the CC mail

 

damn, double post

 

total cost of the entire car when its finished should be aroun $13 or $14K

and about 2 years of work.

 

NIce... keep the pics coming..

 

guages that are going in tommorow

 

the first two pics are RED X's, as well as the last "gauge" pic you just posted.

 

its working for me and its on my schools server.


i dont know what to tell you.

 

working now

 

Damn that is the biggest FPG I have ever seen. Nice.

 

okay, redid the pressure line and I like it a lot better now.

much cleaner look

 

Wow...

 

your radiator/intercooler setup is the ****. its not often you see a intercooler bigger then the radiator. that things humongous

 

Theres someone hiding the background in your garage, is it a troll?

Beautiful setup man, makes me wanna cry. Im gonna miss my car, lol.

EDIT: Also wanted to say great job with that fuel gauge line, youre right it looks better now. I would say it looks DAMN good now .

 

All i can is say is daaaaaaamn i hope mine looks half that good when i'm done with it.

Where did you get all of that braided stainless steel hose? i've been looking at some to run from the tank forward on my fuel system and haven't been able to find any as sexy as that.

/me ponders setting the engine bay picture as a desktop.

time for some fenders..

Man wanna trade cars?

 

Its a volvo intercooler and its pretty big but its onlu a dual core, about 1in thick. the radiator is 4 core and about 2 in thick.

the intercooler was $23 shipped from ebay. it was a recore or something but it was really clean.

plus it fits in there with absolutely no mounting hardware. it kind of pops into place, then the radiator holds it down further. it was creepy how well it went together.

 

okay, finished off the center console. all thats left is to add the speedo (when I get it) and a CD deck.

I need to pull the main cluster again to rewire the lights, and then put the dash back together, but it looks pretty cool so far.

 

Dude your ******* nuts. I like how your going to have your spedo the farthest guage away from you. Also what are the two blue and green lights for?

 

That looks cool! where are you gonna mount the speedo?

 

the speedo is the farthest away because it is the most unimportant guage.

I set them up so that the really important stuff, the engine pressures and temperatures are right in front of me, and the volts, fuel, and speed are off to the right.

 

I did something like you on the center part where you put the metal. I used diamond plate. Ill see if i can find a pic.

 

Here. its my interior and my photochopped stretch rex

 

how thick is the sheetmetal for the center console? I'm in the process of doing the same with aluminum.
