I hope you remove all the rust on the block before assembling the engine. because you will be doing the engine all over again if you don't. looks like a nice build ,good luck with it.

 

[bustedsm]

That rust isn't going to harm anyone or anything.

Went into here

Brake lines re-ran, front bumper mounted, driver's side headlight is stationary along with the corner light (I swear this time, not going anywhere), engine is completely bolted down without the trans, engine side of the harness is completely bolted in and ready, mounted the coil pack in a decent location, battery mounted.

Blah

Just a question- Why didn't you paint the block, or are you going to yet?

 

[Terrance362]

Quoting iceman69510:

My main goal is to get the car together and running. I might paint the visible parts od the block just for appearances but it isn't a huge concern. I will be powdercoating specific things as well as polishing others after I know the setup works and when I figure out the scheme.

I appologize ahead of time for the horrid pictures, these were phone pictures in low low lighting.

Hey were did you get the rear adjustable control arms and front tublar front cross member???? I really like them and I would love to get those for my build /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worthy.gif

 

[bustedsm]

Made the rears myself a long time ago, just now got around to putting them on. The front support was made by 99GST_Racer on dsmtuners.com.

 

[bustedsm]
