The more we took out, the larger "spread" of crap we had around the car... we started to bag it up for weighing it when we were done. Note, the shorty walking around was helping us mis-locate some of that crap,lol..she was adding to the spread.. furture rotary owner. On the car is my buddy Levi and my race-coach,lol... he has to make sure i take out all the stuff i'm supposed to and keep it to code..he's also a pro-rally codriver, rallycross champ and auto-x guru with a sick little miata... he was supervising the destruction, which is ok..i handle the clipboard at his rally...I'll get back at him later...

Inspecting the sunroof area is Chris, the previous owner of the car and probably going to be driving for me at some events.. and yours truly overlooking his inspection...only a LITTLE rust there..which is good considering that area is prone to much worse...

Just some misc interior shots. I bought a new digi cam and haven't played with it much to turn the quality of the pics down, so i could only take 18 shots all weekend, and the rest were from the drinking the night before..so i'll get some more pics this week.



We ended up getting everything out of the car that we needed out. Next up is to get another buddy w/ a rollback to come get the car (hopefully by tues).... i'm picking up some dryice and will be removing the tar this week as well.

In the last pic, you can see the rust in the driver rear wheel well..its pretty bad...and will be the biggest repair.



Next steps are to get the tar out, fab up seat brackets, coat the interior, install rollbar and spray the car...all of which should be done by mother's day.



My racing beat order is hopefully on it's way...so the engine will be next. It's cutting REALLY close, but I'm hoping i can make it. I might have to make some passes on the stock motor :( but hey, at least the car will be on a track,lol.. i think on a stock motor i could still pull mid 15s out of it..

Just talked to Racing Beat and confirmed my order..it should be here next Tuesday..it's really pushing a three week deadline. For those curious, here is a list of the parts I ordered:



#16211 - Unwelded Header Kit 12A

#16398 - Street port dual presilencer mid-section ..which should work really well for my bridge application to keep it quieter

#16039 - Exhaust gasket

#16466 - Bridge port holley carb manifold (larger bore size)

#91100 - Holley throttle cable bracket

#16730 - Intake manifold gasket 12A (different years have different gaskets, make sure you check)

#16735 - Rubber orings

#16570 - Foam Race Air filter (fits in the holley top hat i already have)





Racing beat is usually really good to ask about products/fitment, etc...so don't be afraid to contact them if your not sure what you need/want....
