not too long after that i added some more aero. we dont use zipties round these parts.
Image
Image

and some drift spares...
Image
Image

then i bought this piece of crap. and it sat in my garage for almost 2 years...
Image

because the KA didnt put out enough smoke...see
Image

ehhh went bricks and 5 lug with stang reps...yea i know 10.5 in the rear with a bone stock ka. no way you can do that.
two mildy build SR's chasing me at our local skidpad....the last night i drove my car before it went motorless in the garage for a year

ok well the awesome wet weather we have been having lately really slowed us down a bit. small update. TRUST ME I KNOW THIS IS TAKING FOREVER BUT WE DONT HAVE TIME TO WORK ON IT EVERYDAY.

mounting the fenders,skirts and front bumper with the fastners...

Image
Image

made some brackets with cut off fender pieces to mount the fenders...
Image

pops working his magic. super strong now.
Image

started painting today finally. just sprayed some black on the parts that needed it. will bag off the black area and spray all the blue pieces sometime during the week or weekend weather permitting.
Image
Image


s*** picture but you get the idea...
Image

crash bar time. all three are finished but no need to post pictures of them all. used a silver for base and then sprayed some weird green over it. tried matching the SIKKY green but who knows what happened. oh well no biggie this green is staying.
Image
Image
Image


hopefully this weekend the engine bay and everything else will be painted then we will be putting the motor in! getting closer....

did some things today on the car...hopefully do more tomorrow

Image

bumper is just about complete. little buffing and itll be just right, but once the car is back together we are going to run the buffer across the whole car.
Image

the green we painted on the crash bars just wasent cutting it.
Image
Image

the under side of one of the hoods we have. gonna do the same to the other one as well.
Image

who thinks they know what my dad has up his sleeve with this picture here???
Image

i think tomorrow we are going to put the front end back together, rivit in the fastners now that everything is painted. and start messing with the tunnel, put the new oil pan and such on the motor and get it ready for install. might have the damn motor in next weekend!

well.....it finally happened today.

since we dont have a shop with a lift and all that fancy stuff yes the car stayed on the trailer. it aint a backyard build if you dont make things happen old school style. Motor and trans mounted, driveshaft fits right in, headers were some what of a breeze..it pays to spend money i guess!

sorry for the blurry pictures. :chair:

finally got to pops house today. havent touched the car in two weeks. he was a busy bee while i was gone.

the roof scoop is just about done. needs some more fairing in and paint.
Image
Image

he made some rad (as he calls it) "Nascar style" hood hindges to go along with the "Nascar style" hood.
Image
Image

He also got all the body pieces fitted on the car. needs minor adjustments here and there but its good for now.
Image
Image
Image

DONT MIND THE DIFFERENT SIZE TIRE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. JUST ON THERE TO ROLL THE CAR AROUND FOR THE MEAN TIME!

i am happy with the out come so far of the car. couldnt have done it without my pops being so motivated! i love that dude!

so still need a few things for it to be started up and tested out. hopefully within the next month or so we will be driving this thing! cant wait!!

need to order fans for the rad,
have to figure out exactly what we want to do about the wiring and computer,
plumb all the fuel lines,
get the clutch lines hooked up to the new slave and master
wire up headlights,tail lights, windows and stuff like that to the dash.


Thanks for looking yall
