What a long weekend.

I redid the rear brakes, all new bearings, completed the ISV (idle stabilizer valve) setup, fenders are all rolled and I'm almost ready for primer!



The black tube running under the fuel rail is for the ISV, basically regulates the idle, really helps a lot with cams.

Not much picture-worthy goin on, just lots of sanding. My buddy adam has been doin some great work for me. Threw the bumper on and spun the coils down just to get a feel of how the fit was gonna work out. lookin perfect and still 1.5" of threads left.



I tied up a few loose ends in the bay, fresh Silverstar headlights, reverse switch wired, alternator wired, got a brand new brake res to get rid of that ugly stained yellow one. I have a mount mocked up for the AFM and I cleaned it up and painted it. Should be able to run this bitch tonight, still open header (insert gratuitous because racecar joke). I'm getting anxious.

I vote A with the Heckblende=)

I think that's my vote too... just gotta find one that's not fucked up.

GET SOME.

My buddy Adam is doing some great work for me. I'm the first to admit when I suck at something and ask for help. This sorta stuff is way over my head so I'm pumped he can hook it up for me.







hood is all sorts of gross but i'll do when its cleaned up.




skimmed and ready for some more sanding.

fully shaved fenders ftw.


messy shop is messy. apparently the PO <3'd sluts too.


personal struggle:
A (OEM Hella) or B ("M5 look" smoked clear) or C (red laminex over OEM Hella tails)
note: if I go with A, I will be finding a genuine Hella Heckblende to use on the rear tub.

been makin moves but not photos. Did the last little bit of welding, new thermostat, upper and lower rad hoses, finalized some other hoses. I've got primer, filler etc. Saturday it's on. let's do this! Also picked up a K&N, figured on mounting the AFM this way and wrinkle coating it black.

Loving this!! Any ideas on wheels yet?

thanks! I have a couple different sets of wheels in mind that I'm undecided on.

For this season I'm going to run the wheels I had on my old car but I'm going with a different size of tires to fit better on here without flares. I only ran them a half a season before so it would be nice to enjoy them a bit before selling em off. They're cheap as hell, but I really have come to like the look of a straight spoke wheel on a MKII.

They're Konig "Retrack" wheels that I ran with MKI Rabbit center caps. 15x7.5 et32
