multicolor wins!

some iphone pics from today. tons of work for me this year to try and get the car up and running for next season. i plan on welding the holes where u see the grommets and obviously painting the bay all 1 color.

i want to paint the car the same color as the first molding and then do the inside, bay and behind the front fenders a darker shade of the cocoa butter.











its an eyesore right now thats for sure, the flat blacked bay over the red was just a hold me over because i had plans of re-spraying the bay but i had a limited time in the garage to get my swap done so we just wanted to cover up the red as best as possible for the time being.

hopefully the motor will be sold towards a K20-r so im not to worried about the engine wiring harness right now. if not then i plan on picking up all new mounts and some other things to clean up the bay.

i have a s2k clutch mc waiting to go in once the spacer comes in, so that will clean up the driver side res's a bit.

also building new fuel lines and inline filter. plan on redoing the brakes as well as hiding the prop valve in the cabin on the firewall.
big plans for the car an im also in the middle of a job change. came across a job that seemed a little to good to be true so i jumped on it. ill be a concrete and soil tech next month. the company is paying for my schooling to get me soil and aci certified and im just so freaking stoked about this.

the cars been sitting under the car cover all winter since last october. been running the subaru daily. rocking the yak roof rack to tow my bike back and forth to spots when i ride.

getting a little bloggish on the build but i did make some headway this past week/weekend.

still no sign of the spacer.

but the cmc came in along with the hardware. should look alot better with the res attached other then a hose :thumbup:




about an hour later..

BEFORE, notice how we over sprayed EVERYTHING. :thumbdown:


the test fit AFTER. clean :thumbup: need to figure out how im running lines.


and i test fit the fuel rail for something else to do. will be selling the polished STR rail.


getting a parts list for fuel lines.
also going to be grinding off all the threaded bolts on the firewall.
