    Ole thirty Bastard build thread...

    Well I've been working on this car for the past year or so. I bought the car with a M52 sitting in it but nothing else was done. car had been completely gutted burnt dash, sound detonating material all gone. I mean like gutted gutted!

        The car has come along way since then. Me and my brother wired everything up. welded some covers for the secondary air ports just so we could hear it run!


        Also put some H&R race springs on the car with the infamous bilstein shocks


        Finally got to take her on her maiden voyage with open headers.

        (filmed in Mexico City, Mexico.)

        Finally towing her back to the shop to get the rest of the problems ironed out and so i can weld up some custom exhaust. Long tube headers with some custom fire wall messaging then to a 2 1/2 inch exhaust with a 12" glass pack and running a thrush weld in muffler. Shout out to a solid set up love my eastwood mig welder

        Previous owner tried to weld the sunroof skin to the car but did a horrible job. so i bought some sheet metal and did it the "right way i sealed it and pop riveted it into place after that i proceeded to paint the roof white to reflect more heat since theres no AC or heat or blower motor for that matter.

                    So me and my brother wired the car up, welded the secondary air ports closed. so now we are on jack stands running open headers! But we did get her to start up (first start under my watch)
