reinke Posted August 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 easy there roscoe. lol. i love them big too. well i got a small update. i started to remove some body pieces to make the body work easier. i think i am just gonna have to replace the read quarters. they are worse than i thought. but on with the pics for you whores. i doubt i can fix these. so a vist to my buddies shop is in order this winter. the ass. i shaved the H emblem because i hated the tacky blue one she put on there and i just like it wiht out the emblem. the darker silver is high build primer hell yeah this motor has got to go. the head gasket if gone completely and its just fucked otherwise. i have had this built for over a month and soon it will have a home. (i hope) beside the color this is the only thing wrong with the interior. i am gonna rewrap them with black vinyl and put box carpet where the factory cloth is. hopefully you guys can see this pic better the inside on the valve cover. the black shit is caked on oil that is about a half inch thick. i am doing a full color change so its all gotta come off. i will paint the engine bay when i get the motor swapped. the parts taken off already.

reinke Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 as long as my wife is here i will never lose motivation. i was already offered well over a grand for it but she took the keys and title and went to work. she would prpbably leave me if i sold this car. i have dreamed about it since i was a kid. i just wish i had the damn money for a motor swap this summer so i could drive it.

reinke Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) for mods i am gonna keep it simple to me atleast. i plan on a full msd ignition, a new cold air intake a header and full custom exhaust with the current muffler, coilovers for about a 1.5" drop and tint. if i can find it in my basement i have a electric water pump from my old hatch that i will throw on. i am keep the stock wheels unless i can find some super fins but i will be upgrading the tires to the new falken fk452's. remember this is all subject to change. i want reliabulity out of this car. i am taking my time on the body work so i will spend less money at my buddys shop this winter. what sucks is i cant find a decent set of rear quarters anywhere and i am not gonna spend the moeny to have him make some like he did on his 93. so i will do my best. (hint hint bondo bucket here i come). the final color will be flat black. its gonna be rattle caned until i get it repainted BASF 2 stage flat black Edited August 19, 2008 by reinke Quote ----reference's---- meade916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reinke Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 do you mean yours has the 78 head or mine. im lost. made a little more body work progress i will upload pics later. i am under attack from bee's and wasp's though. so i had to go buy some foggers and spray. i haven't been able to get alot done because there is a huge freakin nest up in the rafters and i am hihgly allergic to them. so tonight i am gonna bomb the garage and hopefully get more done tomorrow. p.s. my buddy is thinking about buying my system from my f-150 after my last show. if he does i am gonna get the motor swapped out. i found a z6 in a local junkyard for $399.99 with a 90 day warranty. it is missing a disturbutor (sp) but the one on the current motor is new so it will due for the mean time until i can afford the msd set up i want.
