Default It Runs!!

For the first time since I have had this ssp, it moved under its own power last week. Took it down for some new mufflers a few days ago. Now I am starting the body and paint. the hood and fenders will be in color next week and the bumper cover the following week. I am looking forward to driving it by the end of summer. Here are a bunch of pics of the progress.


the before shot

engine out, starting on the compartment repaint



fresh coat of paint


engine ready to go in



sitting in the engine bay



the trans cooler to me about 20 hours to get all the rocks out and straighten the fins. found some original style hose clamps and mounting clamps


doing some body work



some of the exhaust work. my over the axle pipes had rust holes everywhere so to keep the stock tips I had to buy the complete muffler back pipes and just cut the original tips off and welded them to the new pipe.



Runs and sounds really nice. I put dynomax superturbos on it and it sounds very close to the original sound
Once I get the front end complete I will post up some more.

Well, i guess paint shop has thier own idea of what Regatta blue actually is. I painted the front half of the car two weeks ago and the color was not even close. So i had to sand it all off and start over. Had to custom match the color from the engine compartment! These are alot closer. I will cut and buff them and put them on next week.
