Daily 510 FTW

So this is what being "low" caused, after the pan bashed itself into clearance my drain plug started to catch and rip away at the weld. It's been welded up and I have my buddy adding a skidplate for added protection...

So it has started, hopefully a few weeks I'll have her back on the road but we all know how that goes...

So I finally got some time to get it out of my driveway and to my buddies shop.
Been sitting for so long lost motivation due to not having time to even touch it. I hope to get my motivation back to finish this build, if not I will part ways and have had my eyes set on beast I will persue

So since the above pic I've busted and patched the pan a few more times. Then last week when I was in a rush to get to work and hit the gym with my boss and student assistant she started knocking, I guess flooring it while it's cold and low oil isn't a good idea. It's parked for now but should be getting some attention soon so I can take apart the motor and see how bad I'm fucked, pic after I got off the freeway and waited and 1 1/2 for a tow back to my house...

So this happened...

My oil pan is cracking at the welds for the drain plug hole from my plug catching the ground when I scrape, did a quick lil Dr up on it and will get it fixed soon. On another note I got my exhaust leak fixed and hope to get my carbs tuned again this weekend

thats cool! I love the wheels. And what on earth was those crazy large white wheels? Truck wheels?

I was just trolling on the white one, it was off a vehicle at work that was like 10x12 thought it'd be funny to see if ppl actually thought I was going to try and mount it

Oh man this looks awesome! Not a fan of diamonds but those look pretty good on there with the sparkly black centers. Can't wait to see more.

Thanks I know the steelies are basic but I didn't wanna break the bank for some old school rims. I'll try and stay up on updates Iv'e been a bit lazy on doing anything to her lately

Some local bmx'rs that come and film at my job were cool enough to snap some shots and send them to me so photo dump...

[r0p0doe]

Got my exhaust fixed right but I still have a leak at my header where I stripped a hole so I gotta come up with a way to fix it. Been taking a few hard hits and now my once fixed oil pan is leaking again -_-

[r0p0doe]

Ok so tomorrow I should be dropping off my car at the shop I originally wanted to so they can fix all my leaks, then get a tune and I should be good

[r0p0doe]

So after a bit more obeservation I appear to have one if not several holes in my new exhaust, kind of disappointed I'm going to have to go back and have them fix it. They checked it before I left because you can hear it and said it's coming from the header which is partially true but I believe that it may be part there fault. I had my header tightened down good and I think they may have messed it up when everything shifted midway welding up the new exhaust, so they tried to force it back into position which was a lot of stress so they may have caused it to gap at the header from it.
Anyway I was trying to give it a go at using double gaskets or using some gasket sealer but I can't get to the flange bolts because they have them in a different spot than the were on my previous exhaust. So until I can get it to a friends shop or in a shop with a lift for that matter she's gunna be running kind of shitty. Going to try and get these leaks sorted out this coming weekend and get my carbs tuned...
