A majority of this I have to thank you guys and all of r3v for. Not only for the inspiration; but also the knowledge, previous failures, and overall know-how to accomplish it all.

Without it, I would still most likely have a car that was meant to be picked to the bone at a junk yard haha.

Thank you all for the kind words! :up:

Do fucking work son, do work!

I second the Coke can. It looks fucking awesome. Did you just cut the top and a line down the side?

[DIIRTY-30]

The original plan!

Do fucking work son, do work!

DOIN!

I second the Coke can. It looks fucking awesome. Did you just cut the top and a line down the side?

I cut the top off along with the bottom so it slides in easier, You'll also have to cut the back of the can in half so that you can wrap it around the coil.

If you don't the can will crush itself when you bolt the 8mm(?) or 10mm(?) nut down.

Anyone by chance have an engine hoist in the SFV area?

Trying to get my friends m50 swap underway.

Thx,

8/10 Threw on a UUC DSSR a few days ago; along with new bushings, selector, and seal since I was leaking.



8/11 Taped off the lips on the Style 10s; going to have the faces powdercoated with clear.



8/12 Also finished sanding down the front valence, rear bumper, brake ducts, fog deletes, and mirrors. Prepped them and shot a base coat of something very similar to Cirrus.

Looks very silver-ish inside with the lights but very light blue in the sunlight..








Will take a few more pics once it's installed.. (Sorry for the shitty iPhone pics; wish I carried my 5D with me)

[rodrigo]

great job man!

[DIIRTY-30]

great job man!

Thank you!


Threw on the back bumper since it was easy; my buddy's finishing up my euro trim so pretty soon that should be on there..



Also should have my driveshaft from TMS tomorrow along with laying the powder-coating on the Style 10's..
