^ Nice!

i need to paint and install diffusers on both cars.

Send the MB seats off to be recovered and redo the intercooler and piping.

Might end up getting a radiator as well. We'll see. I'm going to drain the coolant (since the lower hose is coming off anyway) and runs some flush in the rad.

Once that crap is installed, I'll be fixing all the wiring for the stereo and replacing the cig lighter with a USB charge port.

I just ordered some real leather replacement covers from eBay (at a really good price) and I plan to do the work myself. Originally I was hoping to have an upholster do all the work till I learned what they charge. Check eBay if that's an option you're interested in. .

That's something I've thought about doing but I still find myself needing the standard cigarette plug.

I ordered S2 fenders for the 8... I'm going to try and set the S2 lights working tomorrow. If i can get all that going, and pray the the fitment on the custom front bumper is is good enough to mount, then the 8 may make it to DGRR even without the 20b.

Still need to find another body shop that will do custom fiberglass work.

Nice

djmtsu · 02-15-2018, 01:46 PM

Parts arrived.

Rain, rain, go away.

Johnny_K · 03-09-2018, 08:20 AM

Bump.

What's new?

FC Zach · 03-09-2018, 08:40 AM

Been quiet but that a good thing

Johnny_K · 03-09-2018, 08:44 AM

ha.

I'm ready for some nicer weather and ready for some more concrete at the house so that i dont have to shuffle cars around as much.

djmtsu · 03-09-2018, 08:56 AM

Going to Charles house in the morning to make mounts for the shroud on my AL radiator. Then back home to install and start playing with suspension bits.

Last comes wiring the stereo back in, and re-wiring the gauges. I might wash it or something.

reddozen · 03-09-2018, 09:50 AM

8 goes to Coffee on Monday to put in the custom steering rack, and new rear gears. MR2 should be back on the road this weekend...

Saw where you had issues with the fan. Whatcha thinking now?

You work on the stereo and gauges any?

djmtsu · 03-12-2018, 11:10 AM

Need to get an e-fan. dammit

I could mill down the fan clutch hub, and it might clear, but them there is the issue of getting the shroud to mount. Didn't work on wiring. Ran out of time.
