Cool job, that engine looks nice :)

I sprayed both fender wells, and underbody with lizard skin



Added a total of 9 HELLA air horns. :)

3 on the left 6 on the right, 3 compressors total, powered by a wired relay setup with its own 20amp fuse.



Found a means of eliminating my expansion tank finally.


Red fan pulls much more volume of air from the bigger engine it cooled before. Fills the area of the cores perfect and is exactly 3/4" clearance all the way around once mounted. On the opposite side I have a spal slim fan I have wired to an interior manual controlled illuminated switch.


Happy Valentines day!!



My sweetheart modeling her new car show tshirt I got her.



Turbo blanket, manifold wrapped, and heat deflection installed. No angle spared here.

Last minute beautifying, new ggaskets + hardware, polishing, clearing etc

Lots more in the mail ready to go in, stay tuned!.

Okay here it is.. not very many huge updates, but I've spent a lot of time re fabricating the intercooler plumbing so it doesn't have a total of 9, 90° bends like it had before!.. reduced the 13 couplers it had down to a total of 4 also..., deciding intercooler will be concealed by the grill and kidneys for that "sleeper" look. The factory oil cooler will be moved in the lower location instead. Let's see. Also installed a shit ton of heat insulation, reflection, wrap, and a blanket. Trying to keep the heat where it belongs! Happy to say I cleaned up the dust a bit, got some clear coat on a few things, and well.. let's let the pics do the talking. Take note to the throttle body detail.

Very clean! Jealous :-)

Today I was determined to remove the final amount of history this car has seen. In an attempt to make this a completely "0" mileage car, I knew the underside would have SOME kind of surprises for me, especially being a new England winter driven car. To my suprise, there was legit only one hole on the drivers side floor, so she needed some weld!


After I patched in the hole fully seam welded.. I laid on some primer, por 15, seam sealer, and finished with rubber undercoating.
Finished product:



After I finished this side, I went about putting por15 and rubber undercoating on the entire underbody, especially in all 4 fender wells, all along the fuel and brake lines, and frame rail areas, and Jack points. I'm so amazed how clean this car is underneath, and I Intended it to stay that way by doing this preventing maintenence.


Here are some pics of that wire tuck I scavenged up. It wasn't complete at the time but you get the idea.




Mocking things up ;) putting the fender and bumper back on and making sure wiring is correct and working. Finishing horns install tomorrow.

OP, did you have any fitment issues with the front strut brace from Schmiedmann? or did it bolt right up without modification to it?

This is an awesome build! Quality work all around.

[Nisse Järnet]

Many import rags go on for paragraph after paragraph of "so and so was installed, thus and such was done" when they really should just publish a parts list and save the narrative for things that are interesting to talk about, like HOW THE CAR DRIVES, specific difficulties in the wire tuck, obstacles to overcome in sorting the chassis, street/track performance, whether or not the car's been skidpadded, etc.
I'd rather read about the owner's experiences and plans than take 1000 words to read a 50 item parts list... but in most import mags the article just the 1000 word parts list with nothing that's actually interesting to read.

Please don't be that guy. ;)

Understood! .. I felt I had some catching up to do.. I haven't done much elaborating on my work and didn't by any means have the intention of rambling. I certainly am shooting for another article. You're right there!
