ive been working on pauls t2, its almost ready to run, biggest pain so far has been finding stuff.



for example ive got a pictater of that intake setup, and 4 years later, the secondary fuel rail is gone!



i guess thats what happens when you build a car out of parts boxes...

I have completed my parts purchases for my swap, its actually better I let it sit so long, now I just buy

as many new parts as I can, not dealing with paypal dirtbags.



New alternator, all new mounts, new oil pump, bushings, even bolts for the transmission ( every bolt is different ! )



I had my transmission taken apart and rebuilt as well as the rear end.

Good luck Mike with Pauls T2, that has been sitting for a while with a lot of junk in it! And a swap back from a 20b to boot!





FD- looked at it (that seems to be about the extent of what I do with that one)

FC (20b)- Nothing, looked at it

FC (13b)- Nothing- Son's car

FB GSLSE (nice one)- Got a beautiful factory steering wheel (maroon leather), still soft no scratches, perfect!

FB GSLSE (not so nice one)- Got it running after 8years of sitting. New fuel pump/ filter/ gas. Needs clutch hydraulics.

I got the S model running. The drivers seat was really bad. I had a spare with a good back but a bad butt part so I took both apart and put the semi ok butt from the S model with the decent back and the good rails from the spare. It's still a crappy seat, but it will work.

I purchased another motor the other day to salvage for rotors. In theory I could sand the plates by the look of it and put the motor together.
