Nice build, everything is clean.

 

Time to put the wrinkle coated valve cover on.



New gaskets


Set on



Locked down


New plugs


Coil packs on a string


Everything up top is put back together.


Braided stainless clutch line from agency power should keep the pedal feel solid


My kingdom for a hoseclamp!


Dear diary, jackpot.


She's starting to sort of look like a car.

 

I forsee a startup video real soon

 

Getting ready to pull the old rear end out.


Dust, dirty, open differential and tiny brakes, boo


New rear end is in, with the z32 e-brake functional, then I ran out of motivation for the day.

 

my god man, you're one of the better ones with the attention to detail. looking great!

 

Damn dude, that is some work. Never asked... are you doing this by yourself?

 

Aside from the paint, yep, everything is being done by me. There have been a couple of things that required a second set of hands due to size/weight, (dropping the motor in, spare hand to keep the rear sub-frame steady while I jacked it into place), but other than that, it's all been a driveway build. It'd be happening in the garage, but it's full of car parts.

 

Nice... props to you yet again

 

sadly, work on the 240 is going to be delayed again, I had a little fender bender on Monday that left my back, neck, and left arm a mess. Nothing's broken, but everything hurts. Fortunately the other driver was clearly at fault and admitted it, her insurance and my lawyer are taking care of everything.

 

Damn dude that sucks. Good thing your ok though.

That STi(STY) is damaged pretty good.

Hope everything gets better soon.

 

Ok, so I finally started feeling close to100% in mid December, and got started working on this POS again.

FINALLY did some more work on this thing. Passenger door handle is on, I can actually lock the car now. Got most of the front end on, though I still need to sort out the passenger headlight and corner light. I'm very pleased with how the front bumper turned out. I was a little wary with shaving the front license plate bracket, but I think it came out nicely.

Got a few small things done today. Pulled the speakers out of the donor car and got them into the good one. Fully reassembled both door interiors. Installed the wiper motor and linkage (F that linkage btw), as well as cleaning up the cowl and reinstalling it. Not pictured is the rear speaker deck cover installed, center console installed, last bits of weather stripping installed, and part of the HVAC system put back in.

Got a little bit done today. Properly mounted the intercooler to ensure there are no piping fitment issues, plenty of headlight clearance, and the intercooler shouldn't be hanging below the bumper. I also fabricated lower brackets to help stabilize the FMIC, they're currently drying from fresh paint. Still have to pull the IC back off, put hose clamps on, then do a final check to ensure all fitment and clearances.

 

S15 was my dream car for a long time. Looks clean can't wait to see the finished product.
