'99 Re-Assembly Update

I'm about 50% complete with the re-assembly of the freshly painted 1999 car.  The car looks much better painted; however, it does tend to highlight the dents in the frame and some of the nasty welds.  There are several 'lightening' projects that need to be done before re-assembly can be completed (Front Brake Rotor Hats, Front Wheels and Steering Rack)

Here are some pictures of the progress:



'07 Re-Build Update

I'm going to re-cap from the beginning on this car, since my first post didn't give a lot of info on where we are starting from on this project.  It's a real pleasure to get to re-build a car with this pedigree.  The plan is to re-build it just as it was, no need to mess with what works!

The car, in terms of the chassis, is all still together, but there is still a good bit of work to get it running again.  Here is a list of items needing to be replaced or rebuilt and the completed items to date:
  • Engine - Purchased by Homan
  • ECU - Purchased by Moster
  • Throttle Body and Cable - Modified f4i throttle body 
  • Exhaust Header - Moster
  • Muffler
  • Relay Box 
  • Pneumatic Shifter Bottle and Regulator
  • Wiring harness connectors
  • Battery - Purchased by Homan
  • Under Trays
