I..ah...replaced the center console tray. Ya, ya, I can hear you all laughing .
But, it`s was the only thing that needed to be fixed !

 

I fit a Super 53 turbo in place of the 26/6 that recently came apart...

 

drove it another 160 miles, looking to do a radiator flush, it ran a little hot.

 

removed the rear wiper assembly and put in a wiper delete plug. Now the hatch pops open and lifts itself open with a turn of the key instead of having to lift on the rubber spoiler lip. I guess the weight of the wiper motor assembly makes a difference in the hatch opening itself. Need to get the hatch tinted next...

 

Received my new front valance from xsocaltrashx. Will get it painted and installed in the coming days (weeks? months?)... Drove around town with the top off.

 

Installed the belts, and made sure TDC was set properly with both cam/crank as well as balance shafts. Gotta finish getting the oil pan ready to go back on.

 

changed the oil, bled the clutch, and fitted Rennbay delux replacement fuel lines.

 

Got a new exhaust:



And took it to the track:

 

Went out yesterday walked around the front a noticed that some nice person scuffed the front right corner. The valance is bent with black marks and what looks like plastic stuck to it and a small dent in the front edge of the wing or fender. If it was just the valance it needed work any way but the dent annoys me oh well that why there's insurance. No note or anything from the idiot and I can't even say for sure where it happened.

 

in the last two weeks - over 600 miles of back roads, plugs and wires, dehlrin front sway bushes, r134 conversion, repaired undertray, replaced bad front fog light bulb, rear marker light bulb, new interior lens/light, cleaned drivers window switch and found the oil leak at the filter housing.

 

parked it in a garage for the first time in 6 years without it being broken

 

sounds good.

but did you realize your dash is on backwards?

 

Still having fun with the die grinder. I did a little bit of touchup on the afm intake and outlet. Mainly removing the casting marks, port matching the inlet, and tapering and smoothing of the outlet. Just minor work, and It took me less than 2hrs to re and re. I removed enough material to fill a shot glass. Still on the hunt for an intake to play with.

 

Finished the Super 53 turbo install, fired it up, and took it for a drive!
