I like the build so far. If you trim the rear for flares, use metal not plastic for the flares. Its so much more legit as opposed to plastic clamp-on's!

It will have steel flares. There is a guy in my area that does great metal work. He did the flares on my boss's 240z and they turned out great. Sadly, the money I have saved for flares will prolly get spent on other things I need to get the car running. Flares will have to wait.

Damn man, throwing some tasty bits on this thing!

 

The spare tire tub has a fair bit of strength to it, but being behind the rear subframe I don't think it is too important to the structure of the car overall. If you wanted to be safe, you could reinforce the plate that replaces the tub with some L angle or the like. I would prabaly just bead it though so it doesn't oil can.

27557044883_93961742bd_k.jpg

 

someone cut a hole in my trunk.

28172644165_a17645416d_k.jpg

 

it's cool.  i welded this cover over it.

27556858654_c4b4d89177_k.jpg

 

fpr is in.

28094311831_ecb7ebb2c0_k.jpg

28094314051_4ec1eef3c7_k.jpg

 

i know it looks close to the fender well but it's not.  it's an illusion.

there's enough room there for the hose and my fat fingers.

 

i moved the brake reservoir over a little so i could screw in the o2 sensor.

27608869653_239255ce8c_k.jpg

 

connected all the coolant hoses.

27608879173_e4d750cedd_k.jpg

 

i also found out my rad is too tall.  i either need to get is chopped a couple inches and run two smaller fans or have a custom built rad. (angryface.jpg)

29575082452_d9259c7d32_h.jpg

29605245471_5d117da85a_h.jpg

 

BOV is on.

29686480795_ffa9eb271b_h.jpg

 

i had the starter checked out.  guy said it was good and didn't even charge me.  sweet deal.

29686478175_8f9646c3cf_h.jpg

so i put it back on.

 

 

put it back on the ground and pushed it outside.  hasn't seen sunshine in quite a while. blew out most of the dirt and leaves with an air hose then i took the  vacuum to it.

Wow what a project. I would also love to receive a box like that one day!

 

Quick question, where did you get the tool for the hose ends?

Thanks. They are Koul Tools. I got mine from plumbingmonkey.com. I've also seen them at summit and pegasus auto racing.
