Build thread: body snatchers 56k bad idea
 
so little story.
about a year and a half ago my engine let go.
fast forward to last march wheni got the rebuild in and running and everything was good.
just under 2 months later and about 3400miles later i became the meat in a collision sandwich which totalled my fc.
fast forward to this month, thanks to Endneu913 and TOOSHORT_88 i have a uni body and a place to do the swap at.
well to start off we stripped it all down and go it all nice and TOOSHORT_88 did an AMAZING job at painting the bay.
which i unfortunatly dont have pics of right at this moment.
and now i'll let the pictures do the work.

new and old

badandyrx7 11-19-07 07:35 PM

y dont you take a little extra time and detail the engine. you have a real nice engine bay and i bet you could make that engine look a lot better. i think you would be even happier with the results

Fumi 11-20-07 12:22 AM

you mean you kids and you turbos.
and yes the engine is going to be detailed.
the intake is coming off in the next couple weeks to get a geep clean and probly a block off kit

Upgrayedd 11-21-07 07:46 PM
