Polished the headlights and then traded it for a new truck.

 

Indeed they were! I ran into so much trouble doing this lol.

 

New turbo went on yesterday >



tune day is friday!

 

installed my new intercooler

 

This past week and weekend I redid my timing map, worked on the hot start issues, and got the car starting and idling (mostly) amazingly!

Also finally cut my old inner tie rod because the tie rod end was seized to it, and got the new on on. I can officially adjust my toe correctly again.

 

Oooooooo, you're gonna love that thing.

 

Relocated my battery to the trunk, installed a Tilton clutch pedal stop, and installed a new reverse light switch

 

Put new tires on it as my old star specs were shot.

 

Hey man I remember seeing this car for sale on Craigslist I think

 

Cleaned the K&N air filter. Now the WOT sputtering is gone. Worng section, SORRY!!

 

Purchased some Works shifter cable and underhood bushings

 

Bought GSC Springs for my build! I think all I have left is lifters and I'll be ready to get the head on the block.

 

Bump.

Changed the oil, replaced radiator that has been venting out the top tank. Took the opportunity to sand the rust off the fan shroud and radiator mounts and gave them a quick shot of chassis black. Looks much better.
While apart, I replaced the foam air dam that separates the top and sides of the two cores (you can see the top foam liner in the pic just barely).

 

I ended up getting top line lash adjusters, various gaskets and seals, a new oil pick up, all new timing belt cover bolts, front case plug, and I think that is all I need to complete my build. polished the timing belt covers and clear coated them.. I think they turned out pretty good!

 

Blasphemy.
