FINALLY PROGRESS....no more bs or lack of posting. My car will be out the shop this year!
We found that the inlet side turbine was messed up on my single turbo. It appeared to have been damaged by previous owner. I ended up having to order a brand new turbo to replace. Minus that set back, I have everything I need for my build.


I know I asked before but I'm stuck on what color to go with for the engine bay....I'm leaning towards gold but I'm open to suggestions. Here's a few colors I had photo shopped

I say if you are going with gold wheels use gold for the firewall, or fresh coat of blue on the firewall and paintmatch the engine to the wheels.

What shop is that?

For the firewall, I vote either same blue, or same gold as the wheels.

Motor is finally all put together! Crappy pic, but that was intentional. I will post once everything is back on the car.

Also, decided to change the paint job. Going with a new custom color. There was a Z here locally that just came out with a very similar color scheme, so it's time for a change.


This is the Z I'm talking about
