The 16VT round two~
Posted: Apr Sun 25, 2010 11:03 pm
So, as much as it hurt, Matt and i took the grinder to my engine bay, again. 
dont take long to make ugly! got the engine removed/disassembled/degreased (few small oil leak issues) Removed all the headlight, and engine harnesses. will be rewiring all of that as well.
so after some analysis from the first year of the finished car, i decided that the heater simply doesnt work good enough to keep, esp, in a car that doesnt see bad weather anyways. well, nothing a hoodie cant solve.
so the large hole in the rain tray, plus heater core line hole will also be on the chop block. as well as the manual clutch cable hole and hood cable hole. with as many bays as ive shaved, it shouldnt take too long to get this go around finished. Hell, the passenger side already has the chassis leg shaved, and a tray fully welded in.
will post pics up as soon as i can find the camara (tomorrow)
one thing i may need some help on, for an ABA block i need to get a new oil filter flange, my oil line stripped out so if any one has an extra laying around let me know
a couple of the previous setup to kick it off!

I'm watching this thread to see the win.
, talk about a mood breaker, grinding 80 or so hours of body work out, but if it sucked, it sucked and time to make it better than ever, will post up pics soon, should be spreading new filler tomorrow evening, hard to get motivated when starting at square number one
