            Before motor and trans go in - front subframe from garagistic. New control arms, tie rods, HR springs, Bils shocks.

            Called it a night but gonna rebuild struts tomorrow and get subframe and motor/trans in the car.

                Wow, this is going to be crazy. Any guesses how much power it will put down?

                  Will run 7-10psi to “stay safe” and hopefully produce 300 or so. Everything I’m running can do much more but I’d like to get some miles on it. Then thinking on the side I’ll start building a stroker. Most like ETA bottom and new Bimmerheads race head.

                    It’s back in! Went from the bottom and won’t do that in the future unless I have a lift.

                        when did you weld in and paint those strut tower braces? did you fabricate those yourself or did you purchase them and end them in there? They are super cool.

                          I had it repainted before putting the motor back in...so about 4 days old.

                            Its a convertible so the strut towers are reinforced.

                              Rebuilt struts with HR sport springs and Bils shocks. New brakes and pads put in the front. Gonna get all of the items wrapped up in the front before tackling the rear.

                                This is new to me! I honestly didn't know that. That's great! Giving me ideas.
