nah I just absolutely love the look. The RPF1's and the TE37's are by far my too favorite wheels. Simple and clean.

xd_01, I won't be able to afford new wheels for a little while, but if you get tired of them in the future, do let me know :P finish doesn't have to be perfect either because I want to paint them orange :D

Ok so its been over 2 months with no update but there isnt much to report other then i sorted out some leak issues (keep my fingers crossed) and im waiting on a part to fix the p/s rack. Things are slow going but progressing.

I like where you put the AEM gauges that is an awesome spot for them.

**wetamup2k3g** · 07-13-2011, 08:46 PM

My head's spinning from all that wiring lol! Looking good, dude!

its actually not that bad once you figure out half the wires in the engine bay arent needed anymore, atleast for my application. maybe one day ill attempt to make my own engine harness lol.

well here's more.

i was looking forward to this part through out the whole build,,, the AN Lines!!! i was going
for an OEM look so i used alot of black hoses and fittings, trying to be different lol!!! even the vacuum lines are AN. but in the end i felt like i shoulda add a lil bling to them, oh well next time.

cutting it with a chisel and lump hammer

Next up are some heat insulations pics

naked pipes

preping the wrap

painted with high temp paint

all wrapped up!

Looks good kid. Hey just looking thru the pics, make sure you put the bolts back in that hold the crash bar into the frame. Im working on getting that steering rack fitting for you, probably do it friday.

**xd_01** · 07-13-2011, 09:53 PM

fuel pump upgrade and draining the tank of the old fuel with a hand pump,,,

**underated** · 07-13-2011, 09:53 PM

yea that was taking care of but funny you mention that cause when i pulled the K-frame last sat. to pull the rack both front front bolts (on K-frame) where just snugged up lol. i would have never thought to check those.

Ok at this point everything is finished, i cleaned up the wires with some black braided wire loom but was unhappy in the end, i was imagining something much more clean looking but this will have to do.

this weekend ill put the steering rack back in and get the car back on the ground for a oldschool diy wheel alignment then a boostleak test. i got my work cut out for me this weekend!
