Project FC update... Skittle not so skittlish.... pics inside

Hey, i havent updated in a while on the progress on the skittle.. all i have to say is you mite not reconize her.. the Re rebuild engine is in and running Great.. low compreession numbers but never floods and starts rite up...im sure the compression will go up when i get some load on the engine.. i get my permit may 23 so i still have a LOT of work to do, which includes removing the dash and installing a new dash harness.. but over all itz looking pretty good.. lemme know what you think


Peace dustin

HA!!! I understand about the wiper!!! You took the whole damn car apart!! You better work for the next two weeks all night and all day to get all back together before you get your permit!!!

I was really saddened to see the Skittle just one color then I saw the front with the blue bumper and all was right in the Galaxy again!!! There is hope for the Skittle

Because he couldn't get the motor out with it in there, so he just chopped it out to make it easier to pull

This was way long ago, though, from what I remember. I think it was when he did the original motor swap into that car long before the rebuild.

Engine looks great. Dont worry about the compression yet, give it a few thousand miles to build full compression.

why are you putting in a new harness?

Cool

Ho-ho... re-doing the dash harness, eh? That'll be fun, I just got done doing that. *cough*pain in the butt*cough*

Seriously, I broke so much stuff taking my dash off... I wish you better luck than I had, sir.
