My 323 build.

Any updates on this? this is one awesome freaking build!

Decided to just go ahead and remove all the carpet. Probably will end up taking everything back out and painting the inside of the car. Was super nasty under there. Also debating on changing my rear suspension setup. It's way too soft. Can't hook with all that weight transfer!





Had a visitor watching me work.


Such great friends I have. lol

Not much going on right now. At a stand still with not having any parts to start putting a bottom end together. Been doing a couple side things.

Spare block is torn down. Cylinder walls are in pretty good shape for sitting for so long. Should work just fine.



I got a Summit racing seat so I got around to making some brackets up to put it in using my stock rails. I took some steel plating and drilled holes to widen the seat track on one side. Nothing fancy, just want it to work.





Looks factory where visible.





Still sitting.



Finished my charging harness. First harness I've made from scratch, so I'm pretty excited about it. Ready to see how much of a difference all the new wiring makes!



Also, I decided to go back to my original plan of doing an all motor setup again. I want to find a complete ITB setup if the price is right. Someone help me out.

Started taking a lot of stuff out of the car as well as raise it up a bit in the rear. My 521's are gone now, but I will pick up some new wheels when the build is done. I have a set of Bogarts on M/T ET Drags for all that extra power. lol







I guess you could say my stance changed a bit. lolol

I love this build, I've always wanted to put a decent V6 in a small sedan (3.0 duratec in a 4 door escort? ha) and build a little touring car. I even thought about putting a Toyota V6 in the 91 geo prizm I used to have haha. btw, I noticed people saying they were hoping this was a bmw 323 build, am so glad its not!

[pantsoffstanceoff]

what happened to this build, i miss it

[NorCalFocus]

Well this is fucking cool.

I have so much respect for any engine swap, (I've done 3 myself) let alone something of this caliber.

[DeeAOne]

I might hit you up on that clutch setup. Thanks!


We are getting pounded with rain here so I doubt I'll be doing too much. Have yet to finish putting the charging harness together but I'll probably get some progress pictures later.

If you need any parts, I have an absolute surplus of KL performance stuff, A full turbo kit, a nice clutch setup, blah blah blah,

Anyways, looking good so far, definitely one of my favorite oddball cars out there.
