I priced all of the trim and seals through Atkins. They are actually an hour drive from my house, but I saw the total price and asked the wife. She said no.....

..and there lays your problem...it starts with "Double U"...:nod::lol:

I'll try anything once...Skydiving,..Drag Racing,..Yelling: "have you seen my Dad?" in Harlem..
But Marriage ..Never again..lol!

Christ, that's dark. :lol::lol::lol:

I'm so white..when I take my shirt off the Sun shuts down and takes a break!

Haha not in my house.

Me: So.....there's this Turbo 2 with 3 transmissions, 2 engines and a ton of parts - we should buy it
Him: Umm....where the hell are we going to put that?
Me: I dunno, we'll figure it out.


*turbo 2 gets purchased and delivered*

By the way, locks/ignition will be in the mail at lunch time today for you. :)

PM me your SISTER's Number..hahhahaha!

Stereo system anyone?

car's done..(hahahhahaha!)
what do ya think of the new body lit?

Update:had to make a line from the Wilwood master clutch to the Tilton Hydraulic throw out bearing.
It was like shit didn't exist to make this Transition as one was bigger than the other..
I went to 4 stores trying to get adapters/couplers and all had something different but not what I needed.
I went home and dug into the Shed..YES..My Trusty Shed!..
POOF!..the heavens opened up and handed me my old external slave and pieces to get the job done.
Today I had my Lady friend come over and Pump up the Jam..lol!..I mean the clutch while I bled the lines and found out rather quickly that you should NEVER leave a line loose on the Hydraulic Bearing..INSIDE the trans!
Thank Felix..(GOD) that I was able to get my mitts in and get the line tightened.

Clutch now works and is so freaking Springy that IF you do not keep some kind of physical resistance on it when letting it out you could end up with you knee in your face!
It is a lot more harder to get to the floor than the old 30 year old Wankel stuff..So it may take some getting used to.
I was really surprised at the feel.I thought: Weird.. the clutch only went down like 2 inches and stopped??.NOPE!.That is where the clutch starts to engage and holy Crap!,I thought It was like manual brakes!..then felt some springiness to it and Pressed the clutch to the floor...Yay!!!(Thank you Lord..it has resistance!)
All in all,I had a good day(for once) and got some stuff done to keep the project on the go.
Tomorrow?..wiring.(This should be fun!)

Update:Wired in the E-Fan and I am using a thermoswitch to turn on the fan at 175.
I had to buy the damn thing as I "thought" I didn't have one on the old 302 manifold..but guess what?..YEP!..I found one later in the evening AFTER I had ordered one..Say DUH..lol!
Anyhow I put BOTH in and since I am not sure exactly at what temp the engine will be happy at I at least can swap the wire to the other Thermoswitch If need be..(or just create a switch control to manual bypass the thermoswitch).

I wire up the car enough today to actually ROLL the ENGINE OVER!..YAY!

Bonus points!: I wired the stereo in for power and got a "sneak peak" at the sound of the Stereo setup!....What?..can't hear ya..!..lol!

Its the only way to clear the streets...:egrin:

Also works with "who's been messin with my wife???"

*(good mornin'..6:50am!)

Start up Video..just add whine.
 

Because it's a Cheesy video..hahhaha!
Here ya go!

For anyone wondering,I use a low pressure pump on the stock harness,not knowing What it would do.I figured I would deal with it when I can around to trying to start it.(testing voltage,going through wiring etc,etc,etc..Which I was dreading!)
Turns out I didn't have to do anything at all.The car started up.

Cool.
What low pressure pump did you use?
I put a FC tank in the Z, specifically to delete the external (infernally noisy) pump and found it difficult to source an in-tank unit that ran at 6-10psi (our Holley wants 6psi at the inlet).

Just found this thread. Lookin good styx. sub'd

I dig the rotor shaped key and the tunes. Well done.

Honestly I asked the Parts guy to get me a low pressure in tank pump and told him what it was for(Mustang 302..Capri type fuel system..blah,blah..)..and Voila...he gave me a pump.
IF I can find the paper work I'll post the name and part number but frankly I had a lot of bills/receipts that just piled up and I tossed them..they cluttered up the front seat of the van..lol!
I'm having fun sorting out wiring and lighting right now.All outside lights EXCEPT the 2 front side markers and the Passenger bumper "park light" work.(signal works though).
Missing fuses kind of make things not light up!
I got the oil,temp and voltage gauges set in a idiot pod on top of the dash.
Fuel gauge works.The stock voltage gauge reads voltage too.

I haven't tried to see if I can get RPM on the Stock tach to work off the V8 yet.(I know that pesky wire..been there before.)

*car goes in for exhaust piping on Monday.

Crunch time!
 

Ok guys,I think I got stuff ironed out!
I am scheduled to get a Safety inspection on Tuesday.
Wish me luck!

Woohoooo!!!

I'm almost to inspection too!!

Meh...stupid shit..!

I had to get CATS put on the exhaust as he stated that the car came with Cats

I argued the car came with NOTHING..LOL!..as it had NO Engine!..NO Trans..NO Exhaust!..

I lost that argument..Shit!,shit!,Shit!

anyhow,more minor stuff that needed to be addressed is being done and Hopefully by Friday it will scream down the roads of Ontario..!

Mechanic got picky about the Brake lines..Lucky I had a Whole set,front to back in my Trusty parts shed.
He busted the line at the Distribution block..SHIT!,and I had JUST SOLD the one that the lines has on it!
Luckily,Again,my shed had a spare block,so back in business.
The starter made some funny noises..hmm?..Wtf?..it broke BOTH ears off it!It was just sitting there in the hole and it was a miracle that it started at all!
So,replacement starter and then the Elusive Special starter bolts(not just normal bolts).It appears that the bolts used gave the starter some play and would not sit Solidly in the hole,hence the damage.Ring gear is OK!
Driveshaft had ZERO play so I had to bring it to the Driveshaft guy and get 3/4 of an inch chopped off it or it would have eaten the rear trans seal.

Happy Canada Day...(gaddamn holidays..shop is closed til Tuesday)..I can't win!

That trusty shed of yours! We all should take note :nod:

And happy Canada Day. How does one traditionally celebrate such a grand occasion?

Celebrate Canada Day?...well I don't drink..so I watched my Dog Punch out some nuggets onto the lawn..heh,heh..
I think he was making a Political statement!
