02 update

[blunttech]

got it back a couple weeks ago and have been working on it a few hours a day. i started by mocking up stainless hard fuel lines as my car was an early carb'd car and had soft fuel lines.
i installed a shitload of sound deadening in the doors,inner quarters and floors. tomorrow ill do the roof with a spray on product. the underside and inner wheel wells got por15,wurths body schutz and rustoleum satin black top coats. im still trying to get paint out of my hair. then i installed the aftermarket ac condensor, spal pusher and oil cooler up front. bumpers are on for test fitting but i think im going to rechrome all of it. it looked pretty good (the chrome) until i mounted them against the fresh paint and new trim.

heres some pics taken along the way
coming home


check this dude out. thats peter who came over to help me assemble the s14. hes a tech at our local dealership and a good friend. he goes by "ilikethecock" or e30forlife" i cant recall how he spells it on here

[Hatchman]

you're going to have a hell of an 02 when you're done with this

[mtechnik]

looks like it's headed in the right direction alright. :D

[dude8383]

what! that thing is coming out amazing!

[MR 325]

Looking fucking good blunt! With all that sound deadening material that thing should be so fucking quiet inside!

[bmwm3n528]

This is truly a remarkable build.

Nice work on the sound deadening install.
I'd take the TB's off and redo those personally, they dont look up to BlunTek standards.

Hope all is well Steve.

i dont think its really possible to quiet down an 02 but im doing what i can. i just want a car thats a little more comfortable to drive than my e30. hence the a/c and radio it will receive. thanks for the kind words
your car is looking awesome i must say

[MitchFong]

looks good. When do you expect it to be completed?

funny you should say that chris, im struggling with that. ive cleaned them multiple times and have considered painting them but i wonder what theyll look like in a year or 2 if i paint. i powder coated the timing cover but it just doesnt seem right to paint raw aluminum to me.

im going to just take my time and hopefully have it on the road next spring.
id like to drive it out west for the palo alto show if possible

[moatilliatta]

sell it on barret jackson.... not really id just be awesome to see a car like that go threw there.

One question thou You have spent numerous hours and cash into the resto but you didn't cap your jack stands with a rubber top or a clother to prevent exposed surfaces.
