I got the header, up-pipe and turbo all installed and plumbed. The engine is 90% wired and the majority of the hoses are all attached. Dropped it off the stand and sat it on all fours for the fist time. Looks even cooler and man does it sit low, the pictures don't do it justice. I loaded the car on ...

The rear shaft gets pulled and there are few parts in the kit that will convert the trans to 2WD but you have to have the tranny installed and axles in before the conversion.

That quite a bit of weight to shave off of a already light car.

It is really nice to be able to have second set of eyes and to have someone to ask questions. The project continues to move forward. The engine is 85% done and simply need to do all...

I had a good solid day today and made some progress. I got the rear suspension put together and the only thing left to do on it is assemble the emergency drum brake to install the read brakes. I started putting my engine together and would say that i was able to get through about 50%. The bottom end...

I had a few days off and made some progress on the build. The fire wall is fully assembled and was a lot of work. The firewall is made up of 9 panels that needed to be drilled and riveted in place.

Car was delivered today and there was a total of 8 FF cars in the trailer, everything from couple 818, couple Cobras and 33's. Pretty cool how they pack them in there. Everything went well and is now time for the fun to begin. http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk100/coloskydiver/818%20Photos/IMAG01...
