Man this is gonna be awesome!

 

Dang I was wrong lol

Looking forward to seeing your approach with restoration of the rusty bits.

 

Lots of replacements for missing parts. Thanks Jimmy and Dale!

Clean parts!

Black Teins (the factory green paint was coming off in several places)

Can't a brother get a turbine housing without WG cracks?

 

My method is basically: Wire brush off the large bits of rust, blow with compressed air, spray with rust converter, then paint once the converter is dried. Or just replace the part with one that isn't rusty :]

 

Good Times!

 

Looks like a good find. What kind of "deal" could you not pass?

 

2500

 

Where are my updates, Kurt?

 

Yes, this.

I want that roll bar!

Good grief. That poor car. Good luck resurrecting that.

 

I've seen worse, plus I'm used to FCs...so this isn't that daunting :]

 

Nice work so far. Just purchased my first FD roller which had been sitting outside and is infested by tiny *** spiders and who knows what else. I also had to clear two wasp nests and a decent sized fire ant nest out of my of new garage. Good luck with the build.

 

What is it with wasp nest and FD's geez mine hand one tucked inside the rear bumper!!!

 

updates?

 

As soon as I saw it I knew what it was, but I was too late. 2 of my friends have had a bunch of these


Great build, nice deal and good start. Can't wait to see more!

 

Still trucking along...have only done small piddly stuff lately.

 

Damn! Looks clean and nice!

Started in on putting an engine together yet?
