Fourth Time's the Charm - Another Air Hatch

[E.Myers]

what are you doing for paint this time around?

[cheaptalon]

It amuses me how awful this car is, and the ridiculous things you continue to do to it.

pipe it up .... (waiting on heat wrap chill about the non mandrel bends fam)

I like the scheme on the engine bay because its the only thing here that isn't ratchet besides the bd

[Dremetos]

I would've just gotten extended studs, but I guess that works too, haha.

I was rubbing my bags with my barrels aired out unfortunately. Reducing camber would've also required wider quarter panels so I figured meh let's do it once and do it big

Painted the valve cover and some other misc. parts. Bay is starting to look really good. My buddy made me a clutch master resi as well that came out great. Working out minor bugs and waiting for some parts to get the bay 100% ready to roll. Due to bag clearance issues and the faces of the Centerlines being so thick I only get 4 threads on my lugs I decided to slam 25mm spacers on with extended studs. Result was requiring new fenders (this car has now had 12 front fenders attached to it in one way or another). This is dialed in perfect with -18 in the rear.

Here's just a final shot of the firewall minus the clutch reservoir which will hide the bay harness in the drivers side corner. Pretty happy with it, it fired right up as well.

Yes.

Valve cover is getting paint matched to the body - I actually have a spare one off the car I've been hitting with brakekleen and scrubbing. Don't mind some of the clutter near the brake master cylinder, that's just part of my headlight harness dangling down.

Mounts are in, clutch is on, tranny is mated, things are going okay for the time being. Gonna work on painting the front subframe and stuff in coming days, gotta source a decent alternator as well as other stuff, but thus far, knock on wood, it's looking okay to be done for march.

[Lukey]

sweeet

[spaaals]

i love this thing

tight son.

Just a generic update, got the interior sorted in regard to seats and harnesses, starting doing the brake booster delete and brake line tuck (gotta machine my booster delete plate a little bit to accept the e30 master, so it's sorta just sloppily mocked up for the sake of running lines). Also got the front subframe in, steering rack in, yada yada. Slowly picking away at it, hope to have it driving by March. Ended up buying the Centerlines off of my homie and I need to get a rear one straightened but other than that. Here's just a photo dump.












Once the brakes are done I'll have detailed pictures of those.
