its just red, it doesnt look special...

hey progress

engine bay is practically ready for paint.

i just need turbo lines and gauges before the engine can go in. my friend satty is shaving and polishing my other valve cover so the fire engine red one is just temporary.

then i need to assemble the oil cooler shit and get a new front mount and it will be ready to rock

waiting on taka to get his new shipment of aero in before we can paint it. color has been chosen and purchased... sprayed some test panels as well but i'll keep that to myself for now.

on a side note. anyone know an easy way to remove those gay rear seat/speaker braces? they look stupid and i want them OUT before we piant the interior..

oh yea and i need wheels... car wont leave the garage on the stock ones.

**roski**

FUCK YOU. . .

looks good. .
im excited

thanks

i figured it was about time to start updating this thread

finally got the car into my friends garage and have been working on it almost non stop. getting way sick of cars but it has to be done.

but alas, spring break is coming to an end and i have to go back to school tomorrow. but while i'm gone josh is going to finish prepping the engine bay and painting it. i SHOULD have the turbo lines and junk before next weekend so i'll be able to finish assembling that. then i can put the engine back in.

das

you ever sell of your aero?

word, i'm trying to figure it out

attempt 1 was pry bar + hammer + big flat head screwdriver

failed.

i dont want to drill holes to get the spot welds out but that might be the only way.

do you have a hand grinder?

Most of our projects focus on taking apart a perfectly good car and screwing it up. At least that's what the masses would think. In personalizing, customizing, and focusing our cars on performance above all else, we inevitably upset the delicate balance of ride and handling, horsepower and fuel economy, and perhaps even styling and anonymity that the OEM spent so many billions of dollars to achieve. Whatever, we think they're better.

LongGrain

yes. that was going to be my next try. but i dont want the edges to stay there if we use a cut off wheel

damn LongGrain, i thought u were a dick at first. Especially after reading a couple of your posts. u might still be one, who knows. haha. i like what your doing with this car though.

**Nachtmensch**

looking good.

as for drilling out spot welds; use a large drill bit and go slow. it isnt that hard. i removed a battery tray and some random brackets that way in the past.
