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.

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

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

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.

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.
