Some small updates guys!

First off as you can probably see in the previous pictures of the engine mounted in the car, it sits crooked. Luckily Matt from e30v8.com is sending me a second set asap!

Heres the engine bay shave/ spray. I know, its not really up to S|W standards, but I was more concerned about getting it cleaned up than looking pretty, for now.






I then finished up my dash. Keep in mind, I spent no money on this, and it will be getting flocked in the near future anyway. I still have to drill a hole in the drivers side vent blank for the oil pressure gauge, and a few more in the hvac black for the fuel cut-off and foglight switch:





Last job yesterday was spraying up the IM in my signature colors





And a shot of a very small amount of my rebuild parts




I'll be ordering a lot of the final parts this week, so check back for updates. I've been getting a lot of questions/ comments on this build on other sites, so feel free to ask about any process of the build!

this car is so much fun. the mixture of things from a very wide spectrum seem to be done so well once bolted onto this coupe.

from the hayashi reps, with late 70's inspired rally lights, to the well built chassis & 'memory created' body panels . . . there's just so many opposites, yet continues to sit better & better while remaining performance orientated through drift sessions, autox events, & pedal to the metal redlining shifts.

throwin' purple on a red rocket just cause it's your favorite color & american muscle pumpin through a drivetrain that's being bolted amongst refined german handling, just so much respect here. the results are already creating an energetic & motivating LSD trip down the path less traveled. can not wait to watch this evolve.
