well i got the a/c installed for the most part. need to get some hoses to finish. i also put on my panasport rims with toyo proxy 4s 205/55/15 and she hugs the road now. im fighting victoria british over a wrong rear window louver. i also started cross drilling brake rotors today as well. my brake pads are low so i will probably upgrade to hawk hps.

wait, you're drilling your rotors yourself? do you have a cnc drill press or are you doing it by hand?

i got a drill press. heres what they look like w/ template and finished.

ah, you didn't mention you have a template lol got worried for a second. looks nice man!

well im finishing the ac today and charging it at work tomorrow, yay. i will be installing rear rotors and pads this weekend. ive also discovered a carb issue that i will need to address this weekend as well. wish i had the money for webers right now, but i guess that can wait until i swap engines, which i will be porting intake and exhaust myself as well.https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif



if my polyurethane bushings get here this week i will also be changing out the left rear lower control arm as well as installing the bushing.





so many things to do, not enough time or money.https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif

lol that point is hit with any project. my fd has an incredible parts list but now i don't have the money for the final tune

i know what you mean. im 5k deep (estimated) and still looking to drop another 10k into the car, not including paint. i feel the end result will be well worth it though and the look on the v8 guys faces is priceless, especially when the ask what size motor i got.https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.gif



im about to drop another $700 next week on pwr window regulators.https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif not what i really want to do, but i flipped a coin and thats how it went.

bushings and brake rotors are now installed. i also used the RR lower control arm and rear sway bar as both on mine were bent, but i will upgrade to respeeds sway bars when i do my suspension upgrades.https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

well. its been awhile since i posted progress, but there hasnt been much. i just recently upgraded my headlights to halogens, pot holes are a plenty in SW FLA. i also changed my fuel filter, which did not fix my bogging down problem, but it was cheap and needed to be done. i also have a weber 45 dcoe coming and in a couple of weeks i will have the upper and lower manifolds coming. i started putting away money for all my engine seals for my enlarged street intake & exhaust ported engine.

Nice man, glad it's moving along for you. I can't believe the regulators are 700! The lr control arm is bent on my fd from a previous owner jacking it by that. Ugh I hate being broke lol

lol. who in their right mind would lift from the center of a control arm, but my cars exhaust was bolted to the undercarriage so i guess theres stupid everywhere. yeah after the carb its on to christmas shopping , so i probably wont be doing much for a while either. but at least i have stuff to keep me busy.
