Nice work! Have u thought of doing the 6G74 swap since you're pulling the motor out & selling you're 6G72? More potential there than the 6G72...

I didn't get much down today lol 35 degrees in the garage with a fricken wood stove... -5 outside blah, and it was 65 degrees last tuesday! Hope you get it finished before a month though

Yea lol exaaactly.. I hope it's finished before that too man. The cost of paint is killing its completion time, but it's what I really want.

I have four 6g72's now. I would be dumb not to keep boosting and building, imo.

IDK, the 74 just seems like a more plausible platform to upgrade with more power potential. If u sold all those 72's you'd have enough money to buy a 74, build & boost it probably. It bolts up without wiring harness/ECU mods IIRC, and will exceed your expectations of HP in contrast to the 72. The 72 has been boosted before, havent seen a boosted 74 on here yet. Just my opinion..

Here's the past 2 weekends progress (3/6). Rust is a Pain in the ASSS!!! I'm positive I got everything though and that's what counts.

I drilled out the clutch pedal and wire holes, cut the jdm heads out of the radiator support. I'm just going to re-locate the battery while I've got everything apart.

This weekend will be fixing the rest of that rear quarter. I'm having line up issues with it right now but a few adjustments and I should have it. The only thing left is to do after the rear quarter is fixing dents around the car. I need to sand the car down and and prime it. I plan on painting/clearing the engine bay so I can put the engine/tranny in. Then I can move it to the other bay to spray the rest. If this weekends body fixing goes well, It should be smooth sailing from there.

This weekends progress 3/13

Inner fender pieces from the gold car =)

I don't trust my welds, my brothers wayy better lolz

Rolled the fenders, why not at this point.

Finishing touches on the body work:

Getting anxious!

Thanks! I don't need the old style fogs. That's what's being put in the bumper. Still scratching my head on how I'm going to mount the projectors, but I'll figure something out.

Lol no kidding! Rust and no body line would have been harder to "fix". I plan on old style side skirts yes, but it will be painted first. Unfortunately I need the car to be on the road. I'll just end up painting the skirts later.
