      interior together, floorboards sprayed with rubber coating.



      turn signal stalk, shortened
      wiper arm deleted.



      Cheap and effective gauges from summit. Approx $15 each. I made the delete panels from free plastic scraps. Covered them with the 3M? Carbon Fiber film.

              More Images and update

              I am thinking on running this same setup. What is the verdict ?

              Also any more images of the set up, love to see how the exhaust is run. The manifolds as well.

                Sorry for the lack of updates. The car is back up and running and i will be posting info and pictures.

                The setup is running well, still not tuned. Now I'm working on poly bushings and getting some more miles on it.

                      Cv joint died. Tried replacing today, original shafts where rusted to hub bearing. Bearing got damaged from so much pounding to remove Cv shaft, now I get to do bearings haha.



                      Got around to wiring a battery disconnect. Need to add rivets bolts are kinda lame.

                          Love it dude, I'm in the process of the same build. I will be hitting you up from time to time with questions! I love the manifolds, where did you get them? Are they custom or brand specific?

                          Check my build and let me know if you have any suggestions.

                              I've been dealing with overheating issues. Finally registered and street ready

                              I tried keeping the stock 325E radiator and I dont think its efficient enough to keep up with my electric water pump.

                              Just ordered a summit aluminum unit. 19x27.35x2.25

                                Super late response, sorry. N/a manifolds were bbk shortys with v-bands. Turbo manifolds were custom built for a 94-95 5.0.

                                Hmu with any questions. I wish i wouldve documented the process to help others.
