a few days back hit a curb dodging someone in the street. Today used a tree and a strap to pull my front rad support the 2 inches it was back. And everything magically lined up. I mean like 95% lined up. Even the fenders/bumper which sustained no damage lined up. EVEN THE HEADLIGHT BEAMS WERE LINED UP AGAIN!!!

next week:
1. New PS rack
2. install the other FLCA, tension rod and outer tie rod.

Swapped out the old bulbs in my gauge cluster for LEDs. Looks quite spiffy.

But they stay on all the time and my speedo is now a scizofrenic...

Need heat shield and turbo blanket.

Realized I didn't have enough room so I turned the turbo neck closer to the block. Sawed off my old hot pipe to get an idea for fabrication on how much space I really don't have. :biggrin:

Getting braided lines for the ones on the valve cover.

looks like it. the driver side strap is soaked in fuel. its a slow drip coming from about where the strap meets the front of the tank

yesterday wasn't freezing cold so i actually took off my intake manifold and inspect it for the leak; there's a damn hole before the bypass hose nipple! then swap parts that were missing on the new manifold from the old one. if it isn't as cold today or if i am bored out of my mind i'll decide whether i'll finish it or not.

good luck on that. i got 3 weeks to put my intake manifold back on and rebend the stud that's on the head closest to the firewall, otherwise i'd be done.
