You laugh, but that rust is no big deal. Some wire wheels, elbow grease and owl urine is all it takes. Then, cover it up with some good paint and stack it.

I think it turned out pretty good regardless:

A: Time spent reading this is far from wasted.
B: At least you got paid to read up on it.

Lol - thanks guys! It's been really slow going the last couple months, but there is actually some good progress all over I just haven't been big on taking the pics/etc in the process. I'll have a bigger update in the next few weeks...

Teaser for TTT and for all those who slammed on the 4 lug for so many years. 5 lug FCs are for wimpy twin turbos or BNR upgrades

These are some of the parts holding me up from moving forward in a big way and they finally arrived. I'll have some better updates later, but things should move quicker now

Nothing wrong with planning before you have the car, just dont buy parts for it until you have it, lol.. I've seen people do that before and never understood it...

I've had a lot of progress on the car, but without the brakes I wasn't able to check the wheel clearances, get them painted and get tires on it to put it on the ground, lol. This is a big relief now that the parts are here and I can move forward with the fuel system and the rest of the bodywork....

Since I already posted this pic up elsewhere, I'll toss it up here. Still mocking up the brakes, but so far, I'd say I'm about 98% there...

I hope to have "far away" pics of all the work done before DGRR, but we'll see... too much going on (maybe not as much as some...TTT)...

There is a TON of clearance on the wheels too, so the narrow caliper was the right choice. I don't think I'll have much to worry about with swapping out wheel/tires packages...
