Its too hot and humid to work for more than an hour at a time today, but heres some small updates.

Got the headers on, but unfortunately I need to order a remote mount oil filter kit. I measured and for some reason though I could get away with the small one I bought, but turns out theres no way to make it fit.





Got my gas pedal mounted (excuse the tape, temp sealant)




Got my interior finished!





Did the small fender mod to gain some wheel/ tire room, and help give the hot air off the brakes to exit:





And I've been hearing some people are having cooling problems with the swap. Solution? Racekor holes in bumper!

Why do your headers look like crumpled up paper?

First on this weekends agenda was to get the old diff out. It used to be a 4.10 lsd, but lately it turned into an open diff

In the air



After much cursing, the old diff out.



And new, 3.73 lsd. Not sure why its part blue...





Next, I wanted to clean up the main harness that runs through the engine bay. Not perfect, but looks much better to me.

Before:





After:







Its a bird, its a plane...




Next up, got the trans mount fab'd up.






My now finished bumper, waiting to get destroyed




And some interior shots with one of the shift nobs I have for it, just bought another though

Looking good, can you even lower the car with that volvo lip on? haha

Uh. Well, it kinda just tucks under when its on the ground, its about an inch too low

[NegativeCamber]

did you bypass the heater core? if so, what was your method of choice? plug the block or use a hose that was rerouted around it.

[FunfGang]

Still working on that, but I think I'm going to just run hoses for now.

Stuart.... I think I understand how to do those coolant lines... won't be too difficult.

And my mom asks at least twice a week "What's up with Stuart's car?" hahahaha. She has no idea.

Love working on this... sometimes.

Lol dicks everywhere.
