It's already fully rebuilt and I polished the exhaust ports. Stock everything else. Just paid for my GOLD powdercoated valve cover!

Got new flares I see. Are they the Kamotors ones? You had ones molded in before right?
Digging the progress=)
Those are the kamotors ultrawides. They fit great! My flares were fiberglassed out from the previous owner.
I'm gonna be going gangbusters on this thing these next couple of days.

Update:
-The head is being put on and timed up by Kummrow now. Hopefully done this week but probably next week. I might have him weld in baffles for the oil pan.
-Rear suspension is 99% painted and new condorspeedshop bushings installed. I will try to get that in this week. Pics to come.
-I need to install the wiring for the PLX wideband.
-Have to get tubing for the boost gauge.
-Oil feed line to turbo is needed.
-Weld intercooler bracket and BOV bung.
-And the big question. EXHAUST WORK?!?! I have some leads on where to go but I'm open to suggestions. Debating on spending top dollar or just get a cheapy for now.

The guy that is building this from the ground up is going to do my exhaust, BOV bung and maybe a custom catch can.
Getting really close guys!
-Wiring harness is sorted and 99% installed.
-The intercooler mount needs some tweaking.
-Monday I'm getting the rest of my parts for the car to run. A couple new sensors and a CSB (I forsee an aluminum drive shaft in my future).
-Vacuum lines for BOV, waste gate and boost gauge have to be routed.
-And some other small things need to be done.
Yahoo!!

those rear tires on the tube-frame car are absurd!
Did you cut out any of the rear 1/4 panel for the flare fitment?
I may be doing this as well
I cut, pop riveted and glued them. Then sprayed rubberized coating all over.

Thanks! I've been trying to do some work! Can't wait to have this buttoned up. The winter clock is ticking.
