Yeah sorry about that I've been meaning to update this thread since forever.
So far I've installed
- Remote oil filter setup with modified hoses and fittings
- All new SS braided power steering lines
- Radiator/hoses/fan/overflow
- Intake pipe and filter
- All the brake and clutch reservoirs and hoses
- All new 3/8" steel fuel tubing and hoses with a new 255lph walbro in-tank pump and rerouted the vent line to the gas cap.
- Reinstalled the dashboard with all the gauges, ignition switch panel and kill switch wired up
- Wired up 95% of the engine and ECU harness. Finishing up the fuel pump and fan relays
- Relocated the battery to the trunk (stock was mounted upfront)
I'm hoping I can get all the electrics done by tomorrow and hopefully have the ECU unlocked and ready before the weekend for its first start up.
I did discover a major leak from the clutch slave which will require me to pull the transmission out though. That's gonna be a major PITA.
The pic below is all I have for now I'll get updated pics tomorrow.
