Yessir. He has a shiny M20B20, a 4.1 (probably) open diff, a 5 speed, and a driveshaft.

I think you meant to say Steven (LuckyHenriksen) :P I was talking to him about grabbing the trans and driveline for my cabrio last night...haha

Hey any of you guys have a black tonneau cover for a 'vert ... It's the folding top compartment lid with the two little flaps.

Damnit, I'm an idiot. Knew that it didn't feel right. Well if you need any other parts let me know. A lot has to come out of my new shell.

What're you doing with in the interior of the new car?

[OldDrunkenSailor]

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do a new leather interior like I've always wanted, but throwing 3-5 grand into a car that I don't get to drive just isn't feasible. Maybe some day I'll do it, but not while I'm 1,100 miles from it. Until then I'll have to live with stupid grey cloth like a chump.

You could do a pretty decent one for ~$1200

[OldDrunkenSailor]

Go to an interior shop and tell them you want 2 buckets, a bench, and door panels in leather for $1,200, I dare you. I recommend baggy clothes so it's easier for them to throw you out.

Or some really comfortable knee pads, you'll be on duty for a while.

What else are you looking to offload?

Anyone want to school me on a Metal Line Flaring tool? Bringing home 25FT of 5/16" inch to run all new fuel lines in the 2002 and i'm barrowing a Flare tool set from one of the techs.. I feel like there is a learning curve... lol

[OldDrunkenSailor]

Anything that's removed to make room for an LS3, Pro Cup Kit suspension setup, IE crossdrilled brakes, T56 Magnum, and a Cobra R Hydroboost.

Oh, and a gauge cluster in deutsche.

I had no idea this existed, but looks like there is a lot of tutorial stuff out there. God bless youtube. Any reason that you're using solid lines?

The car originally had a Low Pressure fuel system.

One hard line, and one plastic line. No bueno for the fuel pressure i'll be running with the M20. I could run just one hard line, but I figure if i'm going to make one, mine as well make two and have two brand new ones. The car is a 76 and hasn't been tabbed since 05 so who know's what the shape of the fuel lines are like on the inside. I'm pulling the tank and lines tomorrow!

Yeah, Youtube is great but I learn so much better "hands on" and being able to ask questions and get answers is really nice. haha.

Anyone going to the first CCA Car Control Clinic over at PiR this year?

If you mean Pacific Raceways then yes, I'll be working registration when you arrive. You'll have a great time. I'll have the white Warsteiner car hopefully doing double duty in A and C groups so stop by and say hi.
