Dude this project is perfect for you.. Cause I know you like fabrication..



So.. Bust out the torches and straighten the front end fascia mounts and ****.. Then fabricate tranny mounts for the TII tranny...

I'm not ripping it apart! The only thing that may happen is a manual tranny swap.





Other than that, and a possible exhaust, it's going to stay pretty stock!

Engine core assembly?





The engine in the car is doing nicly! It starts pretty fast (about 2 seconds of cranking or so...) But it smokes like a mo-fugger on start up after it sits for a day or so.... Smells like a raw fuel burning, so I'll send the injectors off to RC engineering sometime...



You got an S5 NA tranny, flywheel, driveshaft, ECU, and maybe a couple other parts for the tranny swap laying around I've got the clutch master cylinder, pedal cluster, and slave cylinder.





Hate that auto-magic.....

Huh.... I'm stumped on how I'm going to get a jack under this car



It's about 4" off of the ground. And jesus, gave it a little push around a corner, and it handles wayyyyyy better than the last running 7 I had. The 88 GTU wouldn't pull that same corner in our neighborhood at 50 without understee, and the vert took it at 50 without knowing any better WITH THE TOP DOWN!!!

SON OF A BITCH!!!!!







OK, I pulled the font of the car apart, and did a little tack welding, and hammered it straight the best I could (much better than it was!)



And I just got it all back together about an hour ago.... And guess what I forgot to put back in...





Done yet??? Well, anyways, THE FREAKIN FOG LIGHTS!!!!! ****, I'm so pissed, because the front bumper was a mo-fugger to get back on! It didn't line up for ****, and I was prying it on most of the way, and it took me a good hour to get the top 4-6 bolts in!





Guess I'm doing it again tommorow



Might just leave the damn fog lights out......
