How? You've only driven it less than a mile and the rest of the time it was on a trailer. lol Good luck man, no need to go broke over a car. I say put it on hold while finances get sorted.

 

In for part out!


... Just playing man. Good luck with your stuff. Sorry to hear what has been going on.

 

no part out over a 1000 dollar turbo... it will just get fixed. I am tired of fixing things at this point tho for sure.

 

At this point it only makes sense to rebuild. Should only be I'm thinking like $3-500 with a new billet wheel. I'm sure you can find some un-used parts laying around to sell Then do a GTX

 

yep.. already got rid of a few things today and am halfway there already

 

This is your chance.

6871

Seriously. You'll make near your race gas/e85 numbers on pump gas alone.

Do it, nows your chance.

 

B Money, what type of guarantee or longevity is the rebuild shop giving you? jw

 

6871.. ill have to look into that.

Teddy.. PTE is rebuilding it.. i cant get it sneak warrantied it turns out ... but they said to send it in and they will try to work w me on it etc.

Not too big a deal i guess.

 

 

Nice choice.. Now get her done People need new desktop backgrounds asap lmao!

 

so i flip flopped between the olive and the metallic grey so much that i was stked to find a color that combined both almost exactly.

And it will be at my door tomorrow AM.. so I took monday off.. and am going to try and knock out as much as i can over the weekend.

after going to another local car show.. i realized that i needed an "unpopular" color.. one that wasnt going to eb on other cars..

Avery Midnight Sand Metallic.



In different lighting it goes from silver to tan to an olive color.

ANd with my candy red.. its going to be FIRE>



I love the angles this car has now..



cant wait to post up my progres pics on my DIY wrap job.. Im doing the door jambs as well.

 

 

good choice, glad to see it has some of that olive color still in it

 

i started claybarring the car last night.. tomorrow i will finish the rest, degrease it and give it an alcohol wipe down... and start taking things apart and wrapping.. whee!

 

 

i know it's a bit late, but how about this color

 

I want that car.

 

hey Brian.. your turbo smokes because the drain line had a junk rtv gasket made w a huge gap in coverage.. jesus christ. CMon.



we suspect hiogh EGTs from running a metal cat as the cause of the retarded heat discoloration.






it should reach PTE by thursday.. hopefully wont be too scary to fix. Will certainly be getting rid of the cat.




tear down prep for vinyl wrap happened friday:











used magents to help.. foledd down top side, cut away paper, smoothed out, then stretched tight across bottom half of the doors..















No bullshttin.. this is a full color change.. means door jambs too:









Al's ti bolts for the strikers..



Hacked the bottom tabs off a Broadway 300mm convex blue glass mirror.. used 3m to adhere it to the OEM mirror, all the buttons still free and clear now.. no more blindspots.. WAY better.







I need to wrap the flares and the bumpers and that part will be all done.

 

Sick. Can't wait for final pics. Are you gonna wrap the hood at all?

 

uououououo exciting
