ok, well its getting closer and closer. i hope to rip her around the block before mid week... my BOV will be here monday or tuesday, so i will be able to ditch the dv that just causes a huge AFM leek (i refuse to hook it up properly ha) I also got the exhaust leeks fixed. i installed another new set of gaskets and this time i replaced all my hardware with much larger stuff (had 2 stripped studs anyways). so the exhaust side is lookin much better (and torques properly). im getting ready to hit the garage again for another hour or so, i plan on finishing my drive shaft since its back up and stands. also gonna plug some holes in my tranny while im under there.

anyways as per now the parts that are still needed are as follow:

Mini alternator (space constraint)
brake master cylinder
brake booster (maybe)
20ft 4awg (battery relocate)
clutch kit

.... i stole it hahahahahaha.. actually it ran really good.. no headlights and its midnight so it was a very short trip.. but it moved under its own power and made a hell of alot of noise, built good boost and scooted very well..

just wait till you see it... :laughing:

i got 10ft of 2.5" exhaust tube today.. i don't think its enough to do from dp back. but it will at least get me to the muffler (yet to be decided) and a little further (may need a bit more for tail pipe).. also got 12ft of 4awg stereo power wire so i can relocate the battery to the trunk, like always lol.

alternator still needs to be mounted.. its proving to be my worst nightmare.. and i cant install the radiator untill it is. as i need the wp turning too... :banghead:
