Still need to do some fabricating on the bottom of the airbox, but trying to make it look as OEM as possible in the engine bay.

I'm glad I've discovered your build, really great stuff and I'm going to ask you a bunch of questions. I want AC in my swap, but right now I'm occasionally getting MAF codes and the suggestion I got was that anything but a stock air intake is sketchy. Do you have details on how you finagled the setup of a stock airbox?

A quick teaser, still finishing up with adjustments, need to put the windows back in and fix a few more things. I will do a full shoot when it's done.

Coming along nicely, can't wait to see all the bits put back together!

Base coat on the MT2, no clear yet.

Looking good 👍

Advice - flattening the finish to lose the peel is a long, hard road. And, once you start anything that is not blocked flat stands out like you wouldn't believe. A good, overall covering of OEM style peel is so much easier (and cheaper if you're not doing the work) :)

I am the worst with paint so I kind of know what you are talking about but not really:) I am paying someone to do it it so we will see how it turns out. It wasn't cheap lol. They are painting the MTech II kit now to install in the final rebuild.

Few more updates, getting the primer done.

Getting a car painted is fun and frustrating at the same time. Looking forward to the results of all this work.

Yep, the cool part is since they took the car apart they found little things here and there (slight rust I didnt see when I fixed all the other stuff). Nothing really bad but the got to it before it could become bad. Its taking a long time but I am glad that they are being so thorough, my car will be in top shape when its done!

A few more teaser updates.

So the work has finally started after a slight delay on the paint. So far just a little fixing of dings and stuff, and starting to strip the car (doors and windows out) before the paint job.Hopefully more updates soon. The goal is to have it complete by end of May.
