Ordered my Ford 8.8 differential mounting kit from Grannys Speed Shop... and fed the car some more money.

installer67 02-19-10 03:24 AM

Dropped the tank in the wifes and cleaned all the varnish out. Put fan shroud on mine and installed rad. Mounted efan, and filed timing marks into Gilmer drive and installed main and water pump pulleys. Routed wiring and hoses in both cars. (then realized I had no clamps for the 5/8 heater hoses) LOL Removed weber carb and intake from red car and installed on mine. removed rad from it and put in wifes. removed heater "hard line" from parts car and installed in mine. Went to parts store and dumped more money. LOL Ordered anodizing chemicals and dyes for doing my own anodizing. Installed freeze plugs in intake water ports. Collapsed. ;)

I pulled it out into the sun and gave it a much needed bath. Too dusty from the months it spent in the garage

shmacklepap 02-20-10 02:35 PM

Towed it home because a fuel line decided to crack on me :lol:

installer67 02-20-10 11:38 PM

Actually got to work on MINE today! Put new hoses on, installed thermostatic relay for e-fan, bolted header on, installed fuel pump, fpr and gauge, ran new fuel lines, bypassed stock pump, wired harness to motor, installed optima red top and tie downs and bought new black MSD plug wires.

For license plate lights? Did you have your license back yet?

Damn man.

Well I went and picked up my oil cooler from the welder. No more cracks. Big plus.

installer67 02-22-10 11:03 PM

got the nice rad I stupidly poked a hole in repaired, remounted my e-fan (without poking a hole in the rad) and re-installed the whole thing. Re-jetted the dcoe and fired her up. Checked timing and went inside with a smile! Tomorrow.......... TEST DRIVE!

There's no way they impounded the car just for that. They must have uncovered something else while he was pulled over that warrented impounding the car. Unfortunate. :(

nxtlevelmazda6 02-24-10 01:08 AM

Bought some SS brake lines from Corksport yesterday and bought a JDM Efini steering wheel today.

jinxed4dub 02-24-10 02:11 AM

got a new tranny for the T2, cheated on both of them with a jeep. wasn't too fun. I spent the day thinking of my sevens.

ArmyOfOne 02-24-10 12:30 PM

thejallenator 02-24-10 10:45 PM

moved the new motor in the shop. gettin ready to start the swap....

installer67 02-24-10 11:15 PM

chased my phantom noise and tried to figure out what the hell keeps screwing with my idle. Still no joy on either front. Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't end up stranded between my place and Taco7 Friday. ;)

jinxed4dub 02-25-10 01:32 AM

pulled ps pump from T2 cursed the SOB who stole my secound gen oil cooler for my FB, just noticed it was missing. I've lost 3 pairs of jack stands, a set of sockets, and now my oil cooler.

The Spyder 02-25-10 04:05 AM

5 lug swap + 4piston caliper rebuild + kyb's and ground control coilovers + SS brake lines + hawk HP's + Brembo rotors + new fluids and fd wheels + spacers, and 4 new lug nuts = me exhausted. Still need to install a fuel cut switch, rebleed brakes, install front speakers, and yeah.... lots and lots to do... So far 18 hours (well, more but I dont count screwing off) in to it... gotta love project cars! :) And soon install the lsd, install a non grinding tranny, fix the rear main seal, replace the clutch/fly, and install a header- My body hurts just thinking about it... need to get those 2 lifts installed ASAP.

Took her for her "maiden" voyage, to Panther lake to work. Lot's of nice corners and elevation changes and one long straight. She handled pretty well, out of tune for sure, but over 4000, she ran like her ass was on fire! Finally some fun! Woo Hoo!!! Now for some open hwy and Taco7 tommorow. ;)

JordanRykon 02-26-10 12:57 AM

Stripped the project car

dtale15 02-26-10 01:13 AM

radicalmark29 02-26-10 09:14 PM

Pulled out the interior, seats and all that ish. Started sanding the body and painting the drivers side fender

dtale15 02-26-10 11:25 PM

ArmyOfOne 02-27-10 12:32 PM

mocking up engine and tranny on car to construct transmission crossmember.

dtale15 02-27-10 01:18 PM

going to start it up and hope for the best

jinxed4dub 02-27-10 03:08 PM

so are mine, but T2 should be up again today. I just need to get another car, so I don't have to stress if it runs or not. if only the fucker would stay fixed long enough for me to get some moneys. but I'm never selling. I got in an argument with my GF's dad a few weeks ago. Cause I won't sell them.

ckykid02 02-27-10 05:48 PM

realized that i got ripped for 50 bucks and some beast 240 brakes for a faulty ass koyo. gaaah

dtale15 02-27-10 07:04 PM

jinxed.. have you tried letting him drive the 7? lol he might start buying you parts for it ;)

installer67 02-27-10 08:40 PM

Cut off the 3" stainless w/Magnaflow weld in exhaust I had on. Pulled my RB dual exhaust off the red 84 and put it on the beige one. WOW! What a difference. I can hear my alt grind now. :( Much smoother sounding and the neighbors will be happier.

Glass Machine 02-28-10 06:45 PM

Put R32 rims on.

dtale15 02-28-10 07:15 PM

^^ beautiful. i sold mine today. i have one left but im officially out of the game.

The Spyder 02-28-10 08:06 PM

Installed a black interior and looked a 93 FD with blown coolant seals :(

jinxed4dub 02-28-10 08:46 PM

not a chance I'd ever let that fucker near my car, #1 always drunk, #2 no licence and can never have one due to 5 DUI's, #3 He's a prick, and it takes alot for me not to swing on him. I let his wife drive it and yes she does buy me parts from time to time, with his money, she used to say she's an overpaid whore, but now she's a sexy bitch (her words), even insists I park in her driveway with my massive oil leaks dripping like crazy, that should be fixed this week also thanks to rob at pineapple.

dtale15 02-28-10 09:20 PM

wow.. sounds like my sisters neighbor. people like that are so bothersome, ever to just visit. sorry to hear that though, probably wouldn't have made that comment had i known that. sounds like his wife is pretty cool at least ^_^.
