Went to London yesterday and picked up a few things for my new daily driver. teeth:







Since I have a long weekend coming, I'm going to atleast get the engine swap done. Maybe do some cosmetic work. Should be a fun car when its done.

[White_Snake]

what was wrong with the old stuff?

Well if it does snow I have a garage to do it in. Hope to maybe hear it run. We'll see what happens.

Well I didnt get the engine in this weekend I did a test fit of the turbo on the 2.3. Now I just need to find a way to mount the wastegate.



A few more performance parts to throw at it



Now that I'm back on midnights I can work on it during the day. As long as the snow takes a hike

I'm jealous, but one day I will have another 2.3T even if i have to build it myself. I'd probably start with another 86 5.0 so i get a factory 8.8. Or an OLDER 79/80 ish 4banger for the SUPER light weight. Man with all you picked up you may be driving that before I get mine finished lol. I need $400 and a weekend and I'm gold.....

don't forget to post this on WAMC

Well I have alot of the big stuff, but its the small things that will nickel & dime ya to death. I figure about $500 and a good weekend and it should be all set.

Well since the nice weather came today, I decided to work on "Mean Mona" , my street sleeper. Made a little progress today. Its going to be nice tommorow so I can hit it again. Here are a few pics of todays work







Hoping to have the rest of the interior out tommorow to get that sound deadner removed and steam clean the carpet and seats.
