Well a crap ton of money was spent rebuilding the engine and going back with new everything and ARP hardware. The bottom end is sitting in the car again as of two weeks ago. Paint still hasn't been sorted as we can seem to find a shop that has time to mess with it. I've removed the headliner out out of the hardtop (smelled like smoke) and fixed a few things on it. Otherwise the car is in the same state as its been since last year. School and my new little business venture have taken up all of my time. My 4 door is in the middle of a 24v swap as well and I hope to have that drivable by the end of the month time allowing.

Huzzah! Hardtop!

Been enjoying this thread. Impressive amount of work and attention to detail!

But i wonder: Are three weed whackers and two leaf blowers enough?

Ouch dude. But mew MT2 and paint at the same time wow. Tough on the wallet and wonderful to the eyes :-)

Pix please!

Soon. I have to finish installing it and making the write up. Possibly even templates if I can swing them.

I like the seats a lot. I can't wait when you are finish the car.

I love the seats too and I think the best part is they are so freaking comfy. Hands down better than the same sport seats in leather IMO.

So I've had a bit of a major set back. As a few of you may know my headgasket decided to let go, which was kinda frustrating. As a "while I was in there" I wanted to take off the timing case cover and have a look see as I've been having some interesting chain noise as of late. This is what I found. It took out the guides and a couple teeth on the main crank sprocket. As a result the engine is going to be yanked out and completely rebuilt. :/

Brightside it will be going to paint finally with the newly mounted MT-2 kit while the engine is being rebuilt.
