Should we start a pool on how long it will take to get it back on the road and then how long the engine will hold? I don't want anything to happen to it but, I want to see the pictures of the miata pulling it home.

I picked up the gslse today. Took 4 of us to get the calipers broken free so that the wheels would turn to get it down the driveway. Got it home filled it with gas and got ......nothing. The fuel pump is shot. Probably locked up since it hasn't been cranked in 7 years. Got a new one coming in tomorrow morning. We'll see what happens then.

Anyway, I'm glad the beast can finally be finished and you can terrorize the old neighborhood again.

 

lol, that reminds me of the time Minda's 7 had to tow the Jeep home. Anyone remember what i did with that walbro i had? i either gave it to someone or put it in one of the boxes in my RX-7. I don't remember, it's been so long. I ended up going with a gsl-se pump instead. If I still have it, i'll give it to you guys so you can save some coin. i don't think you would need an FPR to use it on a SE.

 

this project still "in the works"? how long has it been? I think I sold you Zac's turbo stuff back in 05?

 

I think he finally paid off the body man. Maybe he'll chime in with an update.

 

Yeah, man, its still in the works.

I did pay him off. I visited it over the weekend, and he still hasn't gotten it started. There are still a couple things he needs to do before he re-starts on my car. I guess he figures it took me over a year to pay him, so I can wait a couple more weeks.

 

Maybe you should take the advice of your Sig. then.......

 

Ha! No, it took me over a year to pay him off, and he hasn't charged me a dime in storage fees, so I can't really complain. Plus, it's not like he's taken on new work since I paid him off. It's the same projects that he's working on still. He doesn't do this full time anymore. Nights and weekends.

 

Paint and body is done! finally. Whatchya think?

 

White Power!!!!

 

holy ****. thats all i can think to say. so adam, when do you want me to rebuild the engine?

 

built this thread twice?..

 

ha!

that was pretty much my response when he called me to tell me the good news. As for the motor... I dunno man, probably depends on whether or not it starts today.

uh huh, once for the 1g guys, and once for the local se guys

 

heeey! looking good. wondered what ever happend to ya.

 

so if it dont start then I still have hope to finish my car before yours

 

I don't believe it. When it's sitting in my driveway, then i'll believe it. What are you going to have supporting that huge front lip? Looks like not much right now

 

It started! and its sitting in my driveway now! wooohoooo! for the first time in 2 years, she is finally home!

 

holy ****! How do you plan to work on anything that requires removing the front bumper and or fenders? Anywho, it looks really nice. This is the last thread I ever expected to pop back up.

 

I don't believe it. why hasn't it reached my driveway yet?

 

a where are your front turn signals ??? you know those minor little light that tell people witch way you are turning.

 

because spartanburg is a long drive. It has turn signals on the back. lol

 

So the people in the front of you just get to guess which way you're going?

 

yep, and since when spartanburg is such a long drive or is it becouse your wife wont let you???

 

no i just haven't had the chance yet. I lost my job last week, so thats not helping any either.

 

Looks great man!might have to make a special trip up there to come see her!

 

updates?
