            Thanks for kind words, Guys!

            Sunday night we started to get the ECU wiring ball rolling. Went through a lot of stuff and figured out what I can cap off and what other crap is necessary with the Haltech Stand alone.

            I'll post some photos tonight of some more progress.

            Thanks for watching!

              Still in awe at the photos let alone the build itself.

              Massive props to you!

                Last night I started to clean up the engine since the intake manifold is off right now.





                Going to give it a final wipe down tonight and start cleaning the intake manifold and get it ready for some paint



                and I'll put this here cause I friggen love how this shifter situation is. It feels so good shifting the gears... so solid. Soon I'll be able to clean up this area and make more presentable.

                  That's a lot of cleanup done to the Ghia - Were you able to source panels or you just created everything?
                  Not too familiar with the ghia, but is that a subaru engine swap? Why all the transmission tunnel changes?
                  Ahh I should read :[

                    haha, Yeah all the panels were made. Ghia's arent that common in Canada as far as easily accessible parts go.

                    Yes that is a Subie swap. 2.2 Turbo to be exact. I did a 3 inch transaxle raise for better oil pan clearance and not so much negative camber for how low I want to be.

                    My 1960 beetle was dumped and as any aircooled person knows, when you go 3 splines lower, the negative camber gets ridiculous. Also, since this car won't be "low and slow" anymore, I wanted as much tire/road contact as I could get.

                    Since the turbo is at the back of the engine, the firewall was in the way. So thats why I cut it out. I have a panel already made and ready to go in when its all done.

                    Thanks for browsing!
