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?

Cykodagr8

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

thatpoorguy

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.



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.

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.



im about to drop another $700 next week on pwr window regulators. 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.

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

Cykodagr8

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.
