I got the Turbo/Intake side all bolted up.



Ordered a new starter / Found out my slave cylinder was frozen... So Ordered a new one of those as well. Radiator / Electric fans and Intercooler will be installed stortly.



I decided to go with a Non Mazda Radiator. I think it will do the job, It's 24 x 16 x 3" vs. The Mazda 23 x 19 x 1

The Mazda one fits, but by using a shorter radiator I can fit my pipes to my FMIC much nicer.













Even the interior is getting the GREEN treatment.



The car will be painted LIME GREEN when I have it running.

I have 4 Black Cars... I didn't really pick black it picked me. My wife's Hemi Durano was a lost leader... and black. My 350z I looked for several weeks trying to find the options I wanted and when I found it... yep it was black. My old car which now my daughter is driving was black too.



I wanted to do some eye catching color. And always liked the GRABBER GREEN from the 70's Dodge Muscle Cars. So I decided on that. I'll start the body hopefully in just a couple of weeks. I'm going to take the spare tire off the tailgate smooth it and once the car is painted It will get a single rotary decal on it.



Not sure what I am going to do for rims. The rims that are on it are dated.. 15 x 8" but a few years ago the Suzuki used a oddball bolt pattern which was common to only the early bronco (5 on 5/12) but now the late model Durango uses the same pattery which means I have more choices not for rims.
