During my Mtech-1 build, I kept a fairly full log on another forum. During this I discussed every stage, took pictures of everything.
It may become confusing down the list, as the motor changes. At 420 miles my M20B25 bottom end failed due to a valve contact issue, after this the 2.8L was born.
Enjoy all the photos, it was a great experience.

I will be updating this thread from time to time for the next few months, posting images of every little change, every new part ordered, paint progress, etc (assuming I have my camera and i'm not lazy)
Here is the current parts list, which will be ordered this week.
The first new parts that came in with the 2 new wiper arms for my headlights, to replace my slightly worn/cracked ones.
More to come once I get the car in pieces. May have the Mtech1 front test fitted tommorrow.
We shall see.

The wipers will go with the look I am trying to achieve, I think you will warm up to them.
So I was going to post more pictures today, however my Sony camera decided to..well die. So instead of being lazy about it, I went out and bought a new camera.
This thing has a 16:9 mode, so all the pics are widescreen, which looks better imho.
Here is my powder-coated intake manifold and valve cover, just waiting to get sanded to give it that raised logo look.
I may send my spare M20B25 head in to the machine shop to get rebuilt, and install a 274/274 cam, although I'm not 100% convinced of going that route yet.
Today I just pulled all the parts out of storage, and inspected them for damage.
The front valance has a few small cracks, and needs some repair work, however overall its in great shape.
Sideskirts are in awesome shape, and line up nicely when held up to the car.
The rear valance is also in very good condition, and only has 1 small crack at the exhaust exit, which is easily repairable.
And finally a cool interior shot before it all gets ripped out again :p
more to come later.
