Finally towing her back to the shop to get the rest of the problems ironed out.


Also 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.

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.

I love builds like this!

Was thinking of picking up that Eastwood you have.

Did you get smaller OD piping to fit inside the headers and then clamp them to make the exhaust removable in sections?

Also are those the speed_daddy ebay headers?

I'm about to embark on the same journey you just did, which is why I ask.

Keep it up! And get some S52 cams.

Love that welder got it for a good price and it's done everything I needed to and more!

I bought a 2 into 1, 2 inch to 2 1/2 inch and its clamped at the 2 into 1 and clamped at the muffler. So I can remove the whole exhaust easily and I can change the muffler if I need to or want change for a different sound.

Absolutely they are eBay headers this is a budget build all the way. And I wish I could find some decent priced s52 cams, but right now my goal is to get a different diff the 4.10s are killing me while cruising I want some 2.93 out of a e30 325es or a 3.46 from a e28

Wanted to try my hand at painting so i gave the the ole girl a ice cream paint job! bought a eastwood LPHV spray gun and a pressure regulator. bought some summit olive drab car paint and went to town. sanded down the whole car and prepped really well primed it and all.
Built a spray booth in the shop fans under the doors to help circulate and Dexter'd up one of the bays to protect from overspray










I was winging it to say the least just a lot of youtube videos and closing my eyes and doing as they say "Spray and Prey"

Had to do tons of wet sanding i mean i wet sanded the whole car like 4 times and then did another respray. Came out okay kind of rough but i like it>
