Mitchocalypse build V2

I said I'd post pics so here they are.
I tried taking off the brake booster but it was way more than i had bargained for so i just removed the master cylinder and called er a day. And wrapped up the remaining sensors:


I didn't end up making the brackets for the boxes because I found a DIY a member on the other forum posted about moving them to this location and his brackets are much simpler. But I didn't have the materials for his design so I will have to get those. Here is where the main box is going though. Then the others will go behind it:


Bye bye antenna! You can't really see it but around this area on the car there are a few dings from hail which will be filled/pulled.:


Shop shot:


Here is an engine my friend just finished building for his project. Upon looking at the picture, maybe i should have taped up his ports for him.. Looks pretty good though


And I think these turbos actually came off my car originally and he is going to use them for his car:


Messy workbench. Not sure what the things on the left of the picture would be used for..


Got a little fancy with the photography in the one. Lifted myself up with the crane and put my life on the line for this shot.
jk.. just went upstairs. The engine is not mine:


Was pleased to find this when i got home.. and didn't even have to pay duties! Thanks to not using UPS..


Got a bit excited and unboxed it on the kitchen counter



MMM new parts

And lastly, the abs delete kit:


Not sure the lines to the rear brakes will be long enough since my MC is on the right side. But i guess we'll have to see.

Well went to do more stuff tonight.

First i mounted the relays here:



Then took out the steering rack:



It will be nice to clean that up and have it out of the way for paint.

And here is a shitty picture of the engine bay now.. need the fuse boxes mounted still but that should happen on wednesday. Then wrap up the rest of the harnesses:



And here is me once i got home, grinning like an idiot. Sometimes when you are 1000s of miles away, it's nice to be able to put a face to a username.




Im actually really motivated to have the engine in and the chassis (and probably more) painted by the time I got back to school.

Not sure if you're already planning to, but I'd seal those relays somehow, with RTV or whatever. It's very annoying getting water into relays lol.

Ah, thanks for the pointer. You mean just seal off the plug area?
