I will need your Moses abilities

so how much did the coilover cost. how long tell they get here. did you order the RUCAs

depending on who it is, you should try to get reimbursed for any damages.

NEVER GIVE UP. and im still expecting pictars.

good luck with it though, when're you going out to it again?

sorry i cant satisfy you, jeff

and ill sure as hell beat this thing like she deserves..... gotta find me a clean shell...

Slightly off-topic... Was Tom out driving/drifting tonight? I went to get something out of my car at 12:30 and I heard high revving tires squeeling and BOVs for a while...

The frame isn't that bad man! It's just rusted sort of bad where the muffler used to be the rest is slight surface starting rust on random parts underneath the trunk. Eassy fix man, and don't beat it too bad. I want that shell someday if you're gonna dump it

Taking out old rusty brake hardlines is probably the toughest thing i've done to a car to date. Today my arms still hurt from the lack of blood they got lol. Stupid weak *** 10mil bolts on those rusted things grrrrr. O well I got them all out hehe . We're replacing the hardlines. Oh don't forget I need to bring the hardline pipe flange maker and Al sheeting for u next time im up.

I hope the tires come in soon. I want to see this thing on the ground w/ em... Well ok I hope the PBM's come then too because I don't want to see it at stock height!

Oh yeah dude and those stainless lines look delicious like a gummy shark! I have some plans for my car in teh springggg.

there is SO much work to do yet, it is def overwhelming. props to anyone who has built a car from the ground up... it is such a stressful, exhausting process. Tom, two other friends, and I were up til 7AM this morning, pulling an all nighter... and it still feels like we are just treading water at this point, even tho progress is def being made, it feels like its going so slowly. to keep myself focused, i had to just chill out, sit in my buddybclub seat, put my hands on the wheel and shifter and just think to myself that in a few weeks, this thing will live. its small stuff like that that keeps me going. i am so completely exhausted that i am barely typing right now. i will try to upload pics asap tho, as this thread needs some.

by the way, ANYONE who wants to help and lives in the area, talk to Didderson or myself, and we will arrange something. i can use SO much help right now...

It really does feel like we're going slow, but we're very meticulous about the work and doing the job right and CLEAN and slow definitely is worth it in the end because you don't have to revisit a mod or fix what you didn't do.

We should throw a bolt and nut through the front seat bracket holes for the front seat just so u can run one because I'm going to want a rideee!

I'm surprised I never added this pic to the thread. Remember man, she came from nothing but a milk carton seat and some window glass. It's been a hell of a journey and we're not done lol. Good job so far.

I think you'll post a pic of this but here's mine. Q rotors and calipers mocked up fit like cake with icing.

From sticks and stones to breakin' ricer bones man! lol.

whats that on, eh.

moooooar pics

pics of q brakes, wheel fitment, door finish, etc. too tired to label individually

but yeah... NA KA ftl... not that im boosted, but its in the near future.

two intakes for the price of free. and it just makes me laugh at all teh nubs that actually paid that much for a tube and filter, and claimed to get mad HP.... ahhhh marketing gimmicks

heres some pics.

Few more sleepless weekends and then I start working again
Keep it up mang.

and thanks guys! means a lot to hear it... keeps me motivated to keep going... so close yet so far. but im focusing on the close. its nice to have this thing 20 ft from my house, instead of 35 miles.... so much easier to find time to work on it... and hell im updating right now via my laptop in the garage... its so nice...

Modified by mrgreeneyes at 3:52 AM 2/12/2008

relayed the headlamps, both high and low beam. i mounted all the body panels, skirts, lip, etc... exterior is done, save the tails and front bumper lights... which will be NIIIICE... pics when they arrive

interior is 95% done... need to make a rear deck still. sound deadening has been added copiously and all audio wiring is run. i finished all the underhood work except for the battery's connection to the fuse block area. after much debate and brainstorming, i settled on ordering a breaker for up there and just using ring terminals for ease of installation and cleanliness. the relays i added are tucked behind the headlight housings, off to the sides, under the fender's upper lip. pics later on that.

test fitted fuse/relay box in its new home. need to find a lower cover/bracket for that, then bolt it down. will fit GREAT right beside new intake position. the battery tray arrived, along with my exhaust... both look really really nice. im pleased. also, suspension should be here friday, and installed that night. bunch of local dudes coming over to chill/work. saturday night i will be running all new brake hardlines as well as new fuel feed and return lines because the factory ones are dangerously corroded. fuel pump wiring will be fixed, possibly a new pump installed and relayed/hotwired to battery.

a lot to do yet, but im on the home stretch. feels good to see the car nearly cosmetically whole... it reminds me that it is a CAR... not just a heap of headache inducing metal... and will be roadworthy in a few weeks.

sorry for all the words, but my phone is dead, so no pics as of now. more tomorrow? you bet.
