I am sooo close to being done. I am having a hard time getting to the bolts to tight for the oil return line. I may take the turbo apart tomorrow to reach them. I need one more t-fitting for the vacuum lines, other than that I need to pour oil in and start her up. I started buffing too. I'll attach a shot of the front fender. It still needs a little work but looks 100x better.

 

Everything is pretty much done, but i cannot get the car started. I have a battery tender on the battery charging it. I've checked all the fuse, all are ok. I'm hoping it's just a dead battery.

 

Once you get your car up and running, maybe paint that valve cover the color of your car.

 

not a bad idea

 

im sorry man but u missed the edge of the whole fender...did u do this with a spray can??

 

That's not the edge of the fender, that is the edge of the door. Something that will be covered once the fender is put back on. No i didn't use a spray can! There may be a few spots that look like a spray can was used, I used a spray can clear coat for a few touch up spots. You can't see them now.

^ I spent a while wet sanding and buffing yesterday. The car looks amazing. I"ll take pictures of it once it's done and I can get it out of the garage. I had a bad oil leak, I think I fixed it. I just have to put the cam chain auto tensioner back in. The car sounds like a muscle car with out an exhaust on. For some reason the car does not want to start with the battery relocation. I am not sure if it is the new battery or the relocation. I had to put my old battery back in the stock location.

 

Seth, Just go with the batery in the stock location if it doesn't work out relocated. You have some good heat shielding so it should be ok there now.

 

Ok, thanks for the heads up. I put the battery back for the time being.

 

I have an appointment on Wednesday to have the charges pipes modified and the exhaust done.

 

The car is finally done, well sorta of. The exhaust and charge pipes still need to be done. I was able to put the tires back on yesterday, lower the car back to the ground and start her. I brought her outside to give her a quick wash with wolfgang auto bathe. I still need to finish wet sanding the paint. I figured that could be my winter project along with the fuel system. If I cannot get the paint to look like way I want it after wet sanding I will have it repainted this winter too.

The only problems I am having right now is the down pipe has a 02 bung welded in right at the top of the pipe. There is also one at the end of the down pipe. I put the wide band at the end of the down pipe. Whenever I start the car exhaust fumes come from the top of the down pipe through the 02 bung. It's starting to burn the air conditioning lines. Is there an easy quick solution? The car sounds like an absolute monster when started. She's still idling like perfect. I wanted to take a video clip and post it, but I do not want to let the car run for more then a couple of seconds if that with that 02 bung open.
