    long overdue update... i have been working on the car a lot more lateley, trying to get it running and on the road by sept 1st because i am sick of looking at it in my barn and want to drive it lol. i have the exhaust bolted in for the final time (had to test fit and have the cutout welded into the catback) and put in the BMR adj rear lower control arms. i have pulled out the rear swaybar, shocks and springs and tonight will install the coilovers and new stainless braided barke lines and after changing the rear diff fluid, i can install the strano rear sway to match the front that is already installed and that will finish off the rear suspension. i have a new walbro 255 fuel pump and new fuel filter to install, going to do the fuel trap door mod for the pump and drain the 89 octane fuel that is in the tank now while i am at it since i need 93. that is all the big stuff that i need to get done along with some small wiring and stuff it should be good to start.

    along with that stuff, i have also done some asthetic stuff as well. i installed the ss spoiler that i plasti dipped untill i can get the whole car painted and also got my new Weld RTS wheels in on monday. they are 18x10.5 with nitto nt-05 295/35/18s for all four corners. here are some pics of the wheels and spoiler.






    hopefully more updates to come in the next week or so!

    just a word of advise... your concrete blocks are laying sideways... there much stronger laying with the holes vertical instead of horizontal

    so rear suspension is done! although in process of instalin the stainless braided lines, i bitched up the hardlines so now i need to replace those. did the trap door mod over the weekend and pulled out the sending unit to put the walbro 255 in. in process of putting it back together now, but need an adhesive that is gas resistant to seal the white bucket the pump sits in. anybody have any suggestions?? also the tank has less than 1/4 tank of 87 in it, so i am just going to put in 93 since i dont feel like siphoning that small amount of gas out. is that ok to do?? so once i figure out the adhesive thing, i can put it all back together and getting very close to start up!

    here are some pics of the trap door mod:
    marked and cut initially as a rectangle, but found it really tough to get to the line connections, so i cut out the L-shape and that made it much easier to access the lines.

    a little liquid courage lol




    i will get some more pics of the progress tonight

    trap door mod finished up. used an .025 sheet of aluminum and #10 sheet metal screws



    working on small stuff now, wiring up the cutout, need to grease the ball joints and tierod ends, final torque all the new suspension parts with the suspension loaded, check and top off fluids, put some 93 octane in it and the brake lines. then it will be fire up time!

    you can say that again! lol was a lot easier than i expected, worst thing was finding glue for the white fuel pump bucket thing that was gas resistant. was also a bit nerveracking using the cut off wheel over the tank with sparks flying, but no explosions to report!

    The Car is looking good. I had the same feeling when cutting above the fuel tank. Had my friend stand by with a fire extinguisher.

    ended up bending up my own brake lines, bought some stainless coiled line and bent it up myself last night, then brought it to my mechanic today to do the double flare since i dont have the tool to do it myself. installed the lines tonight and went to bleed the brakes and snapped the bleeder valve, so now i will have to fix that tomorrow and get the brakes bled and then it is start time!
