Rexy
 

Bought this car off a member here. Actually got it for a decent amount considering its S5 body. The car is pretty stock. And really torn apart. But I'm planning to build this car in a slow pace so that i can get everything done the way i want to and also correctly. Plans that i have for this car is to do a 13b-rew swap. I've gotten a blown Rew shortblock for free from a pal. So I'm hoping to get the rebuilt and throw it into the FC. Please feel free to offer any suggestions =]

The front better was cut out by the previous to make it look like BN style.

Also a set of Crown Vics ( cause i think they'll look nice when my car is ready.)

Nice drawing of the FC! :)

You might want to check into pre-made motor mounts for the 13brew into FC swap, such as the ones here: http://motivefab.com/products-page/m...ne-swap-mounts

Add bumper to the list because it looks like some one cut out between the ftp's and the head lights... And it looks retarded. :facepalm4:

Good luck and post photos of the build!

good idea keeping a running total. ive kept up with mine as well, sometimes i wish i hadnt. youll see your total build up very quick, and youll spend a ton more than you had planned, promise lol.
i hit just north of 10g so far

DUDE i hate the front bumper too. but i'll eventually get a stock S5 bumper later. but thanks for the link! i was about to go JRX to get a custom mount built! i guess i'll just buy that mount and do it myself!

WOW! There should be a club/thread for people that spend 10k+ on their cars

So this morning shoneeko helped me install my turbo II diff and axle. Pretty hard work but we got everything in! Thanks Dude!

out with the old in with the new =D

I've never notice the size difference with a NA and Turbo II drive shaft.

I have, and my car still mainly looks stock, haha

I saved money. And dropped off the motor to Garage Life to get a rebuild. Hopefully everything turns out good. Time to start shopping for turbo parts!

Updated List
 

Progress!

nice to see im not the only crazy one out there with a to buy list for my fc haha problem with mine is it just grows and grows lol

I use numbers (spreadsheet app) on my iPad to keep track of all my purchases and costs. Sometimes it makes me sick to my stomach and then I think "but it's an effffceeee" and I get all cheerful again. :p

nice start, nice puppy, what kind is that?... I like your list too lol, dont forget suspension work. all those bushings and stuff are getting old in our cars, might as well start checking and replacing. besides it'll make it feel much better with all that added power.

Pup looks like a blue pit.

Yupp! blue nose pit!

good luck with your build

Still havent had much time to work on the car but i manage to squeeze a little time and effort to pull some crap out of the engine that i didn't need out. Clean it as much as i can with a microfiber towel and clean supplies. Also early last week i was able to drop off the short block at a forum member shop named "Garage Life" really friendly people. Look at the street port that DK did for me!

The Custom REW mounts that JRX made. Kudos Juni!

More parts!
 

I had some time last night so i started to strip down some some more of the engine. I manage to take off both fenders, crash bar and lot of other junk Since i recent started working in the automotive industry I got some hook ups on some parts! Hopefully I can get the rest of of Vmount setup in a few weeks.

Wow that is a huge intake port.

What manifold is that? It looks nice.

HAHA! it is! the porting was done at Garage Life. Really cool guys. I recommend the local guys to go there! They try to work around your budget.

They're the rotary works manifold. Hopefully they work as nice as they look.

Recieved a turbo and wastegate as a birthday present from my friends this week!!!

Woke up pretty early this morning so i decided to be productive and work on the car. Purchased a cheap sander at harbor freight and started to sand down the car. Pretty happy that it didnt crap out on me. Even got a chance to spray primer on it.

Pretty interesting build. Subscribed. (:

I love the Crown Vic's. Can't seem to find a set around me for anything.

I've actually sold my set to _Mac_ and picked up a set of Volks GTC.

Sorry guys! Stopping this build cause i just got my new a FD!!!

congrats, so what's going to be the fate of the FC? The front of that FD looks kind of high, motor missing? Possibly the new home of your streetported motor?

trying to sell the FC now to get back the money i spent on the FD. Yup putting that beastly motor into it.
