WIBIMMERS

Hoping to get it done by next week. We will see how it goes!!

Wiring harness showed up and is installed. The headers are about 95 percent. The cup on my buddies torch broke and he wasn't able to finish the headers. I also brought out my inner ricer and painted my valve covers. All that's left is hoses, intake and a coolant reservoir and a bunch of misc stuff to button up. Parts have been ordered. Its going to be a long push on friday to get all the loose ends finished. The car starts up on saturday maybe even driving. 

I had a buddy come over to start on the custom headers for the swap. I went with 1.75" headers. Drivers side pictured below. 

The car is starting to look like a car now. Front went back on and after three years I'm surprised i had all the bolts to get it back together. 

Got my radiator and oil cooler mounted. I also got the oil lines finished and installed. 

Next thing i did was mock up the motor and trans. I spent a lot of time hammering out the trans tunnel. I think it would've been easier to just cut it out and build a new one. 

update, so i bought an LS1 with a T56 on the internet. It is out of an 04 GTO. I then got rid of all the stuff i don't need and i decided to replace the clutch right away.

What happened to the m20?

The management died on the car and i didn't have the time, energy and money to buy a new management system. I had an opportunity to get some cash for it so i took it.  Fast forward a few years later i had enough cash to start an LS swap.

I started to LS swap it. Im hoping to be done in a few weeks. 

Update, i decided to take the motor out and it has been sitting for three years collecting dust. 

I was sleeping in it. It's that comfy.

I want to match the red Barron e30s color. I think it will look pretty neat. check the picture I attached :). 

As for an update, I haven't done much since my VW decided to break the water pump. I did however get my seat in and I moved the car over. 

This is dope im excited to see the end product.

Lol yeah the fender is silver. I painted it just to see if I could paint. I'm going to go with a gray for the color.

Welp I finally got my front coilovers done when I got the right strut housings. Now I have a rolling chassis. Just for kicks I put the wheels from my black e30 on.

Nice! 'Tis the season! Whats that car next to it? 

It's a 1969 Studebaker project I've also go. Then next to that is an 89 k10.

It's been a while since I've updated this thread. I took a break on the car to focus on family issues, but now I'm back and ready to spend some money. 

The first thing I did was clean the garage and move my car over. I also put it on the ground so I would get a little more motivated. 

Then I bought some coilovers, sway bars, control arms and tie rods. I got the majority if everything done besides the front coils. 

It wasn't too bad. Just figuring out where everything goes was not fun.

I finally got everything tacked in last night besides the door bars. 

After some time, I finally got the majority of the cage in. I messed up on one piece and I cut it too short, but it was bound to happen. I'll just have to get another piece.
