the resurrection
 

the other car is waiting for the last few parts to arrive so i decided to do some work on the other project. this was a whole car, then it got parted out hense the mixed matched body parts lol. Its a good thing i have a few shells layin around, i was able to make a dent less body, ugly as all hell but a fresh paint job will fix that. still have to stuff the rear subframe under it but that should be done next week, and damn there were alot of bee's nests through out the frame lol. anywho heres a few pics. i got the wheels from ehime, red bumper is off of a s4 gxl parts car, fenders are off another s4 gxl, and that ecu your looking at is out of my old 5.0 fox body mustang.....:rolleyes:

got a new subframe and lsd stuck up under this pos, subframes are a bitch and a half on 20 yr old cars that all tweak different. brakes are all hooked up, wheels are goin to the powder coater to get a nice bronze finish (cars gonna be black so i think it will look sick). mounts and drive line should be here next week and the motor should be in shortley if not same day. oh and these are prolly goin on the motor:rolleyes: and a nice cage:lol:

are you droppin in a Ford 5.0?

my old 302 out of the fox body mustang i had then sold, then got the motor and drive tran back lol. came with extra goodies, it already had a small cam in it when i had it and was making sweet power

ordered the mount kit. will be here next week

mount kit is sittin in my living room, just needing it to stop rainin so i can go finish up the car with brake lines so i can tow it to my house

started wiring the car, had to put every harness back in. mounted the motor mounts and had to fight the damn power steering lines. waiting for a pilot bearing and then the motor can go in

gonna be pullin a allnighter tomorrow after work, motor will be in and some of the wiring for the motor done. pics soon

This is going to be a differnt but cool build man! keep us posted! How is your other FC Going?

i have the other fc on hold due to bad weather, i dont wanna finish it just to wreck it lol. motor and tranny are maited together, gettin ready to stick er in, im on a beer break haha

got the motor and tranny in the car, there are some clearance issue's i will have to deal with. im gonna shim the rx7 front subframe 3/4in and run old school pully set ups. it was a pain in the ass but its gonna be fun.

tomorrows goal's,
secure tranny to tranny mount
figure out how to modify the clutch pedal to run a cable style
start wiring
install interior

getting my interior all put back together, with anyluck ill be firing it up this weekend

well its been a few months with out me touching the car, decided while im on my christmas vacation from work id get some work done. me and a buddy got the clearance issues all sorted out, got power to the car harness now. gonna hook up power to the ecu tomorrow as well as put in the drivline. fill up the fluids, and prey. the thing has brand new tires on it and well i think they need to be destroyed, but i have to figure out the raidiator and clutch cable situation first....grrrr. but the goal for tomorrow is to fire it up, while i watch for fedex to show up i my driveway with the last part for my red car at which point all attention will be on it lol

i guess the weather is against me, its raining so no working on the project today

it runs!!!!!!

ohhhhhhhhhh baaaaaaaby! You've created a monster! :naughty:

yup, and i know its not gonna eat a apex seal under the boost that im gonna be pushing through it eventually lol

Pshaw, that's all part of the fun... You know that. ;)

well when i was at the autostore getting vaccume caps for the other car i ended up getting the hookup from my friend who works there and got my clutch cable, waterpump housing gasket and speedo unit for about 80% off... haha. so im prolly gonna be working on it all week after work since its in the garage and the other one is out side. oooooh im also hooking up a 100 shot to it

Got any pics of how it looks now?
maybe a video or something lol

still trying to rig up the clutch cable, broke a bolt off in the waterpump housing so i gotta get it out. car still looks the same as the first pics pretty much. once i get the water pump on ill get a video of it running for ya

sounds good, im interested to see it running agian..

did some work on the v8 today, rigging up a cable clutch on a hydro car is a pain in the ass. heres a pic of the bracket i made in the garage, had some steel lying around so me and a buddy just kinda hammered down and did some welding lol.
put the dash in also since its all wired up and pedal assembly is in.

oh yeah here ya go mort2002, this is the first start up vid, we had just got everything wired up and had prayed it would work. i need to get a new video, soooo damn loud in my tiny garage
