Big Build-Up. PICS!!
Hey there everyone. I am in the process of putting my car back together. I just received the motor back from Kevin at RR. He put in some new seals (it was a reman and only had 2k miles on it) and gave it a nice big port. I will be running a TO4R 1.0 A/R hotside divided. Here are some pics to get started, I will be documenting everything as I go for those of you who like to check it out and those who need help. Everyone on the forum has been nothing but helpful to me, and I wish to return the favor any way I can. Wish me luck guys. Here goes...

Hmm...I think I'll keep it for mine. Anyway, I am in desperate need of a PCV and Purge control solenoid. I sold the rats nest and never took those out. If anyone has any for sale, I will glady take them off your hands. Pm me if you do. Thanks

I wasn't doing it all black to be original, I just don't like powdercoating. And seeing 3 years ago I was 17 and didn't own the car, you have me beat there. But mine is nicer still!!! Muwahahaha

Good luck. Project sounds good!

BDC,
Being that you worried me so much about the powder, I double checked to see what exactly was used. It was just plain old engine enamel from a rattle can! That really gets my nerves to settle back down though for sure. I was under the assumption it was powder, but I was wrong, I stand corrected. Good thing though, the build is coming along nicely, the motor will be going in on monday and the v-mount will be fabricated next week as well. I'll make sure to post some pics of that also. Thanks for the concern however, take care.
