ive been out of town for 5days and i got back last night

thanks
i'll look into that

well i had no school today so i planned on working all day but i forget i dont have the drill bits to start drilling out the firewall so i had to stop.. had only 1hr to work
but i got alot done in that time
got the steering column, rack and pinion, subframe with LCA< sway bar, and tie-rods

Hmmm, interesting. Seems like an awful lot of work, hopefully it pays off in the end. Looking forward to completion.

[schroedin]

Seems way difficult for the results you're going for... Props for the effort though!

[Oxer]

Indeed it is a hell of a lot of work... But the sence of acomplishment you will feel in the end will make it all worth it. Keep going dude!

[ffxbb6]

well it is alot of work... but its not hard stuff, just simple stuff
its just that theres alot of it you gotta do,lol
the only hard part of the whole build is the firewall swap then everything else is just putting together a puzzle

* The motor is going to be pulled out on tuesday!, and im going to strip the Lude completly so i can do the Firewall swap on saturday and sunday!
the FUN has now begun,lol

[ffxbb6]

Its been raining here in VA for the past 6 days and yesterday and today was BEAUTIFUL so i had to get my ass to pull the motor out.
started today at 5 pm i got to work on pulling the motor
and instead of using a lift we pulled it out the oldschool way by just pulling it from the bottom....,lol
i finished pulling the motor at 8PM
then i spent alot of time getting things organized

Looks like you're making good progress. Ever thought about powder coating your valve cover red?
