[notabmw1]

Finally got all the brake fab done! Brakes work, all bled out, e-brake works as it should. Next up was the driveshaft is finally fabbed up. Chevy to ford 8.8. Measures in a a 35" long driveshaft. Some nice grade 12.9 12 point bolts for all that torque, lol!

Any progress on this? Such an awesome build

[notabmw1]

Yes I have been working on it when I can, got 3 other big builds going on right now. But...

THE MORRIS IS ALIVE!
Finally figured out the Fuel pump sensor off the pcm, First crank of the ignition and she roars to life in open header gloruness! Now to get an exhaust on it before the neighbors kill me.

As requested! However, still got heater hose to run, figure out a tensioner for belt. And of course finalize all the wiring and get the ecu and ac kit installed under the dash. Almost there.... kinda!

So I started the wire tuck, and I am using a knock off painless gm style 12 fuse panel/relays, etc.





Finished spot welding firewall in, hiding more wires, still a few left to go and build a engine cover to hide coil packs.



Mounted the PCM underneath passenger side dash.... JUST A FEW WIRES TO TIDY!


Smoothy. Getting there. Hope to get all the wiring ran this Friday, and finalizing belt and cooling system.

AAAAMMMMMAAAZING build man!

[Rally]

You, sir, are awesome. Keep it up. I love your builds.

Thanks guys, I can't believe how long it's taken. I am used to building full cars in about 3 months. But... this one has been on the back burner for pops. Hoping this week or next to finally take it around the block, possibly fenderless, and no exhaust, but we shall see. Getting itchy!

[rab71]

Love. It...

You have mad skillz! Can't wait to see the finished product!

[ChuckNDicks]

This is good. I like it.

[Dave_The_BMXER]

It seem sstrange for me to have missed this previously, so cool

[RatJack]

Damn, this is cool!

A kid in my town put a Datsun engine in his Minor and it flies, this thing would be mental

SHE HAS SEEN DAYLIGHT! And under her own power! Finally got 60% done of the car harness (similar to painless gm 12 fuse panel), fabbed a power steering reservoir mount, made the lines, tucked all the wires I could in engine bay, fabbed a new short intake for it, welded in seat brackets. Now I just need to get the exhaust done, install air conditioning, and air management for the air ride. Currently its just a manual fill. Oh and a bunch more welding on rear fenders, wheel wells, trans tunnel, etc. Onto the pics:

So sick.

[notabmw1]

So I started a new job which is eatin into a lot of car time, but I did get a few things done... Finally got the exhaust done, headers into a flowmaster scavenger pipe, then into a fullboar maxflow ss muffler, and out with a stainless double rolled dual tip in the center. Turned out pretty good, wanted to fit a resonator on it somewhere but kind of ran out of space, may visit it later if it is too obnoxious. Also got the tank and compressor ready need to take 1" of the mounting legs to get it to clear in the trunk. Anyway onto the pics:





Finished fabbing wheel wells.








Pulled her outside
