Just sent my housings out to goopy for a refurbish. Super excited to get them back!

 

i think there has been a write up before on it. the hardest part was separating the lenses from the housings. they are just 4in truck/trailer lights glued in the housing and wired up. pretty straight forward.

 

I thought bout doing that, looks pretty good. Did you do the turn signals as well?
Only thing I did today was oder plugs for my fc and try to figure why its not starting haha

 

I finally replaced the o-rings on the beehive oil cooler. It took a lot longer than expected. Still leaks a bit from the engine, but not from the cooler anymore!

 

Took the wife for a drive to run some errands. First time driving it in over a month. Noticed a LOT of condensation on the inside of the sunroof. Going to have to check all the door/window seals and see if there's any mointure inside. Going to try and find some time to install my new locks and replace the gas door switch that's gone bad.

 

I got all my new brake parts together, just waiting for a time for me and my buddy to get together so I can the jack stands and tools from him. He's still using everything to swap his corolla parts around.

I should be happy with the drill/slotted stoptechs with HP+ pads.
Need to find a local source for ATE super blue brake fluid though.

 

Pulled engine for rebuild. Going to be done by Pineapple.

 

i installed alternator and put new plugs in her

 

sold one

 

Rolled rear fenders, made one tiny crack in the paint. I feel accomplished. Destroyed the paint on the front fenders, couldn't care less. Dynoing Friday with any luck!

 

Custom air box installed.




Starting to work on the interior. Custom gauge pod I made.
I will relocate the idiot lights to just below the logicon before install.

Drove her to work after re-jetting carb yesterday, runs better. On the way home had some punk kid in a wrx pull out in front of me...good thing i expected it and stopped short. I really wanted to get out and beat him, but instead i left him in a cloud of tire smoke as i continued on my way

 

I do 3m vinyl wrapping at my work and been doing it for a long time. I do mostly 3m carbon fiber vinyl wraps. I can wrap anything you desire. The parts are prepped, 3m primer'd and 3m sealed.
You would send me your part and send me the paypal of the price agreed and i would wrap your part and send it back in the box it came in free of charge.
The vinyl is very durable and leaves a perfect finish. The carbon is nice as it does not leave scratch marks like the exterior door handle on a fd happens.

 

^Looks good. Is that the Di-Noc? Do you use the primer 94?

 

Yea its 3m 1080 and use to be called di-noc 3m. yup primer 094

 

Made 322/334. Healthy motor and it rips pretty good too

 

Got a call from goopy saying my housings are done! Woohoo! Time to lap the irons, ultrasonic the rotors and rebuild.

 

Installed a hiddin start button using 8g wire, Damn high tq starters. I can't wait to have a garage!

 

made these from an old hood i had laying around.


and washed her up so it can rain tomorrow.

 

yesterday i ripped out p/s pump and looped the lines(WOW much better then busted p/s pump). installed short shifter and new bushings. new belts a/p and alt. in the process broke off tension screw on a/p. drilled it out but need new a/p.

 

So today i pulled the dash out and replaced the heater core......So much fun! The hardest part was getting the dash back in, the plate that goes above the steering column kept wanting to go underneath it.

 

sold it, well one of them...my last fc and most favorite fc

 

Those are bad ***. Would you be interested in making me a couple?

 

i might be into that. gotta make a set for a buddy of mine already. what ya got to offer?
