the bay is DONE!


WAAYY too much time involved!!

Total process:
Strip old paint
Stitch weld
Fill holes / shave tabs
puddy imperfections
SAND SAND SAND
self etching primer
3 coats of 2k primer (sand in between)
3 coats of single stage white



all in all I am happy but there are definitely some areas that arent great.. this isnt a show car though so it'll do

Looks good to me dude, Any reason you didnt do base/clear over single?

Looks good to me dude, Any reason you didnt do base/clear over single?

my original plan was a two stage paint but the single stage was 1. Cheaper 2. Easier to apply 3. Better for touch ups



The disadvantage is that the clear would be nice for extra protection but I have seen too many people mess up applying the clear and ruin the entire paint job. This was my first time using a gun so I kept it simple.


Also, the orange peel isnt as bad now that it all dried!

the motor is almost complete now... I am going to retorque the ARP's a few times over the next couple of days and then set the timing. I also need to tig the baffles into my oil pan and then it should be complete!




The whole process took a while but here are pics in order:



picked up the s50






stripped and sanded







this stuff fell off




a view of the pistons... not too bad actually







Got this from VAC ( 5 angle, M52 springs, machined, etc)






cleaned the block and pistons. ARP's hand tightened







Cometic .140 MLS and VAC head installed







New chains, new main bearings, new rod bearings





drilled and safety wired oil pump nut








and a mock of the finished product!

wow that is beautiful work dude.
makes me kinda wanna get an engine stand and a 24v engine.....
have some fun :)

Agree with Pantless Spency. Once I get my M50 swap done and working I`m either getting a stand and finding something bigger to build over time or getting a stand, pulling the M50 and going turbo.

Great build, looking good, keep it up.

Thanks guys! I never tore a car motor down before so its all new territory.

I'm just taking my time and learning a lot... the next car will definitely be a lot better. A few things I wish were different already!
