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 http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN2339.jpg new bay painted http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN2340.jpg about two hours in http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN2342.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN2343.jpg Endneu913 tranny surfing http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN2345.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN2346.jpg engine and tranny out http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN2349.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN2350.jpg |
we removed and grabbed some of the stuff out of the old bay
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN2352.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN2351.jpg well we moved the old body out and to the side and up on cinder blocks :lol: and brought back things we needed http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN2389.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN2388.jpg into http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN2387.jpg slide it in and bolt in up http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN2390.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN2391.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/DSCN2393.jpg |

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, fail. do not want meat sandwich. TeH BaW haz vizited. Good luck man, I'm in the process of doing a rebuild with the make shiftiest shit ever and all by myself. Honestly cherish the help.
|
