Kylie - S52 Swap 325e, now with moar Pictures!

[kingston]

As always, Rich...MORE UPDATES! Can't wait to hear what way you went!

[Rich@GTBPerformance]

Okay so I've been mean lately. I've been promising pictures but providing none.

So as an apology to everyone, here they are!

So since the M20 blew up, we had to find a new motor. We managed to find an S52 local in beautiful condition. Its going to be at Guten soon. In the mean time, we are prepping Kylie for paint.

Pictures taken with camera phone, so forgive any graininess.

No more M20 :*(



But, the good thing is that the interior is almost completely done.




I love black headliners


Custom Boot + ZHP knob, don't mind if I do!



Powder Coated black Euro Bumper hotness.



Don't tell Levent or the owner, I might just borrow this engine. I think I'm still drooling over 12 hours after I left the shop.

That's it for now. I'll be ducking down to GPS once the engine arrives to get some Pre-install shots and help Joel and L do the cleanup on it.

Hopefully she'll be going in for paint within the next week or so.

Why did the M20 blow up?

Any lessons?

Levent installed it instead of Joel. :)

Any lessons?

I think it blew itself up because it knew it couldn't compete with the S52

I like the black and white theme going on here! But got to wonder if the black bumpers will be too much? To where body color may make the bumpers blend into the body a little more since the trim on them is black? And what valance and lip is going to be used?
