awsome dude im gonna have to tea bag it but

why the rush? why not drag it out of the painters for another few weeks?

its the painters choice not mine. im heading over there now so il make sure it all gets done before paint tomorrow

progress: spent the day yesturday sanding the bay and repairing the damage done by the previous owner when they tried to fix the damage at the rear of the car :/ the car is in primer atm and getting rubbed back thisarvo so it can all get painted tomorrow morning hopefully, then the real work of puttting it all back together starts hopefully be able to turn the key by the end of the weekend and then its off for a tune ---------- Post added 10-11-11 at 15:43 ---------- Bay is painted. The rest is getting done sat morning now Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

going to smack some paint on that k-frame? looking good anyway in that bay. huge improvement

yeah i might, depends if i have time, just want to get the motor and box in atm ---------- Post added 10-11-11 at 18:54 ---------- i can pull the k frame out when i get the car and paint it when i do all the suspention anyway ---------- Post added 10-11-11 at 20:34 ---------- also, got the tailshaft back today from veem and it was too short by 50mm. the one i gave them was an mx7 shaft witha ****ed up yolk ( someone had welded the uni's on) and the yolk only sat half in the end of the box (just the tip, just for a little bit). took it back to them and they are fixing it. so when i get it back tomorrow my clutch will be the weakest poing in my driveline (other than the na bottom end)

motor is in, gearbox is in, cooler is mounted and piping plumbed up, tailshaft in, exhaust modified and on. all thats left to do now is paint the outside of the car, wire up the ecu, hide the engine bay wiring, put the dash back in get it tuned and take it for a cruise. hopefully getting tuned next sunday so my aim for this week is to get everything perfect getting prety stoked Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looking good mate!

Really,really,really coming along real nicely.

how long has this project taken you from start til now? amazing progress

i brought the car less than a month ago. should have this stage of the build done by the end of next weekend

daily update time haha got the pedal box, clutch master cyl and brake booster and master cyl in. cut new holes in the fire wall for all my engine loom to come through, ran all that (with grommets ofcorse) wired up the microtech to the body loom and ran a dual core cable from the microtech to the battery in the boot and ran 50mm^2 cable from the battery to a terminal post under the dash of the drivers side which is where im getting power from for the body loom and then iv got another bit of 50mm^2 cable from there to the starter motor. then just as i was packing up today a mate rocked up and gave me some 70mm^2 (00ga) cable, terminals, p clamps and an isolator to run an earth from the battery all the way to the block so thats all getting done when i get back to the workshop and can get it up on the hoist and secure it all under the car properly (positive is run under the carpet inside the car) also my brake line adaptors rocked up today so i can finaly finish the brakes off next time sorry no pics from today, everything is still a mess lol

car got painted today, il get some pics up of it with the clear on. hopefully get the whole car back together tomorrow and maby even get the wiring done

Looking amazing mate. Such a cool project!

got a heap dont on the wagon today, just about finished the electrics. aslong as i can get it on the hoist tomorrow it will start by the end of the day and then hopefully be ablt to get tuned on sunday.

looking good mate keep up the good work.

Good work, it's looking great. Is there a reason why this is progressing so fast? lol, it's spinning me out!

cause he's a jobless hobo with nothing better to do lol.

cheers for all the comments fellas and the reason why its come along so fast is because i finished uni exams just over 2 weeks ago, iv bin working on it full time (literaly) and i already had 95% of the parts already there. and i do have a job, starting from monday anyway ---------- Post added 19-11-11 at 13:41 ---------- Just got the car started. I think the oil restrictors in the block might be a bit too small though Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Also, cheers to devl for the redline gearbox oil he gave me today ---------- Post added 20-11-11 at 17:18 ---------- head has to come off so i can replace the oil restrictors in the block, not enough oil pressure in the head. fml
