WOW!!!!
Job well done, looking great:bigthumb: |
the battery box lid definitely finishes off the engine bay. looks great.
|
^^ certainly does! i don't know how i could ever stand it without a lid..as attention to detail oriented as i am, i don't know how i never picked one up until late this summer...
|
here are my last series of pics for now. i'm goign out of town today until the 24th, so i figured's i'd throw these up. see you guys later this month!

Looking good. I can't tell from the pics exactly but do you also have the battery plastic surround? If you don't I have my unbroken original one that I can't use with my front mount. PM me if you want it and we will set it up. Have a good trip.
|
i have the battery surround, yes. it has a crack and my lid is missing a couple of the tabs :(
|
Uh oh... no oil pressure at idle? Perhaps the gauge went bad.
|
i've been trying to sort that issue out. i have a thread regarding it.. its been a pain in the neck!
|
i want a glass roof so bad... yet we all want something now and days
clean clean clean props on the fc beautiful car and i know whats it like to clean up from ew to wow |
thnaks for the compliments! i didnt know how rare the bronze moonroof was until i posted pics of the car for the first time. at the time (2006) someone offered me $600 plus their UC colored moonroof for mine! needless to say, i hung onto my moonroof due to it being original to the car.
|
A bronze moon roof. I love the bronze glass in these cars. That and the white paint. Your car is looking fantastic.
|
thanks! i wish it looked half as good as your 10AE!! i really want to recover the seats with oem style leather. thats holding the interior back!
|
replaced the tid today.. then i figured i'd check the shaft play on the turbo and when i went to spin it, it was difficult to spin..bearings are going bad...time to replace it for a 4th time! i keep buying used turbos of of the forum here and nearly EVERY one was not as described and was bad..i may just send this one out and have it rebuilt..
|
Yeah you should just get BNR to rebuild your turbo for you. It comes with a 1 year warranty too. :)
|
maybe i'll look into that company..i'll do some research and go from there. are the a reputable company?
|
Yes, Bryan@BNR is on this forum. They have a great reputation for building hybrid turbos, I doubt too many people just get the straight rebuild, but it is offered. Here is a link. http://bnrturbos.com/2ndGen.htm
|
thanks for the link! i think their prices are very reasonable and i think i'll be contacting them for a new turbo!
|
Awesome job on the restoration. It gives me inspiration to finish my 10th AE. I've got a lot more to do to mine, but what do you expect from a $400 10th AE?
|
i would think that it would be a diamond in the rough ;) the car has been worth the work. now maybe next year i can put some miles on it!
|
Why not rebuild it yourself?
|
because the turbocharger has to be perfectly balanced.
|
Dave please tell me where you got those mint floormats!!! i nearly had a heart attack when i saw them lol. Props to you my friend i have been doing major work to mine for the past year now.. You have opened my eyes to so many things i have left unturned and i cant wait to get it beack to start nitpicking at the little things
|
lol Dave, I bet you and I had the last unopened floormats for the AE in America. I just opened mine up last year. Used them for one day and put them back in the plastic.
|
10thAEWHiteHeat, i bought them off of a forum member here and paid $250 for them unopened.. they are in the car now which is in storage. they are going back in the bag here this weekend and back in the house. Rick, i would tend to bet that you and i did in fact have the last two unopened sets of 10AE mats :)
