hahaha
ye it got really slow downed because of school...it was all good, got to work on the car a lot, and then college came in and pimp slapped me
but i should be back working on the car soon
and yes MOAR WIDE!!!
i ordered the FEED front and rear wide fenders from Shine about a week ago, so i should have them on my end in about 2 weeks
at that point, my mystery front bumper and all the fenders and car will to the body shop to be fitted and painted
i'll be repainting the car in the OEM SSM, and returning the original pearl to the finish that it had from factory

FINALLY!! got to do some work on the car again
i'm going to say FINAL assembly for the 3rd time now
even though i know its not going to be final assembly
bolted in the manifold and waste gates and also started making the oil return lines
the bottom one was easy...but top one is SUPER close and barely made it even with a 45 degree turn directly off the flange, going to have to heat wrap that pipe somehow

Can you explain to me why you are getting the car repainted and all sorts of body work completed when the car does not even run and the fabrication is not finished? It would make more sense to me to finish under the hood first this way you will not have to work on the car (as much) after it has been repainted. I am really curious, please don't take offence to it.
Also, It may just be the angle of the pic, but it looks like your wastegate blocks the inlet/outlet for your heater core. How do you plan to fix that?

the reason i'm doing this is for time constraint reasons
the car is pretty much done under the hood, it just bolting things on
while the car is at the body shop i'll be doing all the bolting on of everything under the hood while the body guys get to working on the body fixing all the little dings and fitting the wide body parts
i get where you're coming from completely cus the last thing you want to do is work under the hood and risk dropping a tool or something on brand new paint
so i'm making sure to get everything under the hood done before paint is sprayed
then the only thing that will be left is to construct the mid-pipe which will be done at the fabrication department at ISS Forged while they're building my wheel setup
as far as the heater
the a/c and heater are going to be deleted so I'm just going to be capping that off
it got really tight with space in that section of the engine bay and since I'm not using the heater i figured might as well utilize that space for the waste gate
