I just bought a parts car, cut out the strut towers and took them to my buddy who does body work. he cut out my rusted ones and welded these in and painted my engine bay for $1000

[blueskittle]

That's a decent price!

[boostwhipped24]

Got alot more stuff back on the car today, not much left. Should have it up and going in a few weeks. Just need to get a few more minor things.

That bay is looking mighty clean.

[boostwhipped24]

It looks even better in person. I replaced all nuts and bolts with stainless. I'm gonna be rerapping all the old wore loom also
I'm ready to hear this thing run

I have a brand new tower from the dealer that I need to get welded in, Just have to find a good shop to do it.

[boostwhipped24]

Was i was very patricular, I wanted to make sure the welds turned out looking good.

[boostwhipped24]

Finally was a too sneak in a produtive day on the car, we got quit a bit done, fuel filter mounted, afpr put on, started rewraping all the wires with new wire loom and getting wiring hooked all back up. New timing gear over installed. Got the b&m oil cooler and all mount up the the evo3 ofh, and a few other random things

[boostwhipped24]

Well shes pretty much done, and ready for the first start. I need my -10 an fittings for my oil line, and get my downpipe fabbed up at a local shop. Here are a few pics that I snapped after getting done working on it today.

So thinks to my buddy Mike Myles for bringing his ecu with v3 up today to see if it would work, and well it linked up fine, So I shipped my ecu back out yesterday to ecmlink for repairs, and the ol GSX should be back on road getting a base tune by next weekend for the first time in over a year.

[boostwhipped24]

She lives here the video below... Got the motor ready for the first start up today with every thing dialed in on a good base tune on v3. Ordered all the part for my down pipe now just got to get it fabbed up.
