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

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.

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.

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.

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.
