sry i havent posted a lot latley work has been crazy but here are something things that i have been working on when i do have time.

built a press at work so it will be much easier for me to do all my bushing and pillow *****





just to see how the press worked out i pressed the bushing out of the mustach bar and it works like a charm.



working on more wiring i think i finally have everything i need deleted from the front harness



started on the engine bay





lastly i started working on a new water neck for the car the other one is to big and bulky



new flange



then the neck welded onto it





will have more updates the weekend hopfully thanx for looking guys

 

Subscribing. I am really interested to see how the harness tuck turns out. I just want to hide my fuse boxes beneath the driver headlight bucket and try to clean up the bay a little.

 

That sould be fairly easy. Im hoping to start putting the harness back in the car this weekend

 

I've thought about making a filler neck/ thermostat housing too. First time I seen one was off that yellow fd at sevenstock with license plates rspecfd. Looked like they took an ast and welded it to it

 

did some work on the bay the other day. welded up a lot of holes and wat not













sry that some of the pics are blurry cell phone pics

and how i left it still have a lot of work to do but i just put some temporary primer on it some it dosent rust.

 

looks great keep up the work.

Nice work.

 

so i got some more done on the car this week.

who ever owned the car before me butt spliced so much of the harness, this is just some of them.



and its fixed



i have also been stacking parts for a little while



this is my master over haul kit from rotary aviations with race springs and ra super seals 2mm



rotary works titanium studs



working on getting a clutch now then ill be getting the motor rebuilt

 

so me and my buddy decided to go all out on the bay so we started it last night still have a lot of work to do.

heating up the bay plus our shop



welded up some more holes



then started fabbing up some sheet metal to start covering up some of the ugly *** spots on this bay







all the fab is done on the part just need to put filler in it





then i started on the other side





then to finish off the night

 

Im very anxious to see how this turns out...Im doing the same thing with my bay right now. Should be interesting to compare once your finished. Ill have to check this out if im ever in your next of the woods.

Keep up the good work.

Bay looks spectacular! That's a brilliant idea building those plates between the fender and shock tower. I may want to copy that idea later on when I rebuild my engine.

 

you wouldnt happen to be the guy that has the black one with green enikis on it do you? and yea for sure i need some 7 guys to hangout with. there are none on my side of the bridge. if you have any pic would u mind posting them. see if i can get some more ideas from you.

 

do it i really wanna start seeing more clean bays in these cars it seems to be the one thing that ppl skip out on and it drives me nuts

 

damnit. i wish i thought of covering the sides of the suspension points with sheet metal.. i just filled it =/

 

did some more fab work on the car today not sure if i like these plats let me know wat you guys think.







before



after





holes filled on the fire wall



and how i left it for the night

 

Looks good. But why plug the whole the engine harness pass thru? Are you running a new harness thru somewhere else?

 

yea just havent figured it out yet. i dont want to be able to see anything just the motor and turbo stuff

 

are you running an ast? how do you plan to fill the coolant?

 

On that water neck that I welded up I'm going to put a fill cap. Correct me if I'm wrong but that sound do the trick right. Wat is the ast actually do?

 

It helps remove air from the system. You can get away without having it, I did for a few years. But I'm adding it back in, it makes it super easy to fill the system, it will basically burp itself.

It is the highest point in the system, and has a pressure cap with the overflow line going to the overflow tank. I then took the too highest points in the system (non-AST), top of water pump housing and top of radiator, and they feed into the AST. This way the air in the radiator or highest part of the engine goes to the AST and out of the system.

 

Well then its still up In the air if in going to run one or not. Working on spreading some filler this week so ill have some more pics then

 

Need more threads like this! impressive work mate keep it up!

Brad.

 

nice build

 

thanx guys. keeping me motivated
