Fuel lines are a bitch to change, at least the one that comes out of the tank. Mine let go once, i tried to patch it with tape but the fuel melted the tape.

It was discusting

Well, here's an update of everything for the past few months..

Basically, my cat and entire exhaust system was stolen from the car. The original guy who installed my head unit cut all the wires, so there were no lights or anything in the entire car, and the headlights and tail lights were fucked too. After putting the new fuel injectors in the engine seized. I gave up and called GPS.

So, after all the shit that happened the car is now running. Here is a list of shit that was done..

New engine (m20 112k, will upgrade later)
New brakes
New fuel filter
Entire car rewired.
New cat/exhaust.
New gas tank.

Before GPS would even touch the car I had to agree to forfeit the name "Zach," so HE is now a she.. And her name is Leila. I need to clean up the engine bay some. Today I detailed the car and conditioned the seats for a few hours. Put black door panels back in as well, I'm going back to the original "all black" interior. Just missing a few parts that Predzy has, and I will never get back, so it's off to the junk yard for a few of the smaller items I don't have any longer. Anyways here are pics..









Oh, and I found this wheel in my cousin's bronco that he bought. Any ideas what it is (Momo?) ?

[!AjHoWzA!]

That euro plate is :|

[accident]

the bolt pattern on that wheel suggests it's a Grant.

[Pantless Spency]

says made in italy on the back and seems to be an M for momo, and momo is an Italian company, so probably momo wheel.

[Ian Bowers]

Momo does 6 holes in their wheels. The bolt pattern (5) is grant.

[Pantless Spency]

oooooo didnt even look at the holes haha. well thats strange it says italy on it then huh? probably a rip off company or some shit.

Thanks guys I appreciate the feedback. As for the europlate I did it for the lulz factor, I've seen so many smiles and laughs from bmw drivers and Volkswagen drivers along with waves. It's good to know I can be a smart ass without speaking a word and still get a smile out of someone.

I tried removing the back db yesterday. No luck though, as the bolt by the exhaust is impossible to get to and the other side of the car as a bolt that spins on the other side when you are using the ratchet to loosen it. So after numerous attempts with vice grips and rust in my eyes i gave up. Have any of you come into this problem before? If so what did you do? I really want the db off.

So long story short, the quarter panel got smashed in by a deer, couldn't fix leaking, unclogged elephant trunk drain. Car was rusting from sitting, and I've got a whole photo diary on Facebook. Anyways made a deal with a body shop that I'd pay to get the quarter panel fixed and paid for paint, but I wanted to wet sand and prime it. So long story short car is painted.

Here's a few pics. Still need a few things to have it completely restored...ie suspension, carpet, a black back seat bottom (mines dyed and its not working out) tail lights and eventually wheels. But that's going to happen in due time hopefully. Here it is, and yes I know that the trim is white, I like it.

I spent a lot of time fixing shit on here.. My front wheel well had a huge rusted hole through it. I chipped rust away, sanded. And rebuilt a wall in it with body filler, mesh wire, and this rust preventive spray. Like I said I've got a whole photo album of this long ass journey. But my favorite part had to of been working on it and doing the prep body work, it was a great learning experience and the shop that painted my car said that the wet sanding came out great and he was very impressed with the prep work. Made me feel great. It's the first thing in my life I've ever stuck to and attempted to finish. Anyways, enjoy.
