dammit fungay. fix that crack in the dash before you install it.

What kind of bar are you going to use?

Just ordered an autopower, which will be lifted up about 2" to fit snugly with feet, as well as having full door bars welded in. The idea is to end up with a full cage minus the a-piller and upper windshield bar so the car is daily/ streetable.


Got a new dash and started making my interior look half decent(this is about a month or so old, never updated. I lost two of the trim pieces by the cluster somehow, so I need to find those...

This car is hilarious to me. I wish you were local so we could go do hooligan shit in our obnoxiously loud turds.

It's hilarious to me as well

That clutch slave looks awfully familiar....

Nice work. Excited to see which route you take with this car!

Hopefully you have better luck than I have! Haha.

And thank you, means a lot coming from you.


I've honestly had zero motivation to do anything to this car the past month or so... All it needs to be driving around is an oil change. But somehow all I've managed to do in the past month is work on the dash/ interior, pull out a seat and paint the passenger floor. However, I'm currently working on getting some small sponsorships and I've just ordered a roll bar and new harnesses.

Then that is what ill do. makes way more sense that way. I'm getting ready to rebuild my engine now, waiting to take it to the machine shop, the further I pulled it apart the more I wanted to just do a full rebuild. Big delay in progress but will hopefully be worth it at the end. Just getting rather expensive really quick lol

I keep going back through your thread for more inspiration. Your car sounds amazing, can't wait to see more

I'm considering running an oil cooler so that may be a good idea. It will be out on the track quite a bit and I'm not too familiar with how the oil temps do in these engines but I would imagine not to well without at least running a bigger pan. I've just got the e30v8 pan for now

I would agree with that. The 90 degree adapter is like $90 or something crazy. I got a sandwhich adapter and oil cooler kit for $100 shipped, so just spend the extra few bucks and do the whole setup at once.

If I had to do it again, I might've gotten an oil filter relocation kit. Then you can put your filter wherever you want AND run a cooler inline with it. Just a thought.

Hey fun, your car is wicked, been watching the thread for quite a while and I like what you've done and watching the progress. Where did you get the 90 degree oil filter adapter?

Thank you! It's a Ford racing piece ordered Summit Racing. Let me know if you have any difficulty finding it, I can look through my 40+ Summit order confirmation emails and find the link haha. Should be easy to find though.

'murica

:p

[jalopi]

You've still got the 'Murican flag hood on your car, right?

...

your car is going to be a rolling troll at h20 :D

[FunfGan]

I'm massively looking forward to seeing this car at h20.

:o Just go towards the sound of an American V8 and the National Anthem playing. Hopefully I'll have my interior fully together, my bay will still look like the thrown together mess that it is though. Hope you're not expecting much
