Well, its finally starting to look like a car. A car with no turbo, intercooler, piping, and half the interior pulled. But, eh, its a car.
So, in the recent days, i and a few of my friends have helped in get this car where it needs to be.
3 days ago- installed the ARP headstuds with molylube, pulled all the old water and oil lines. I copper sprayed the headgasket twice, and layed the head to the block. I torqued all the headstuds in proper order to 105 ft lbs. I also installed the intake manifold with new SSStuds bolts with the Magnus intake heat barrier gasket.
2 days ago- my buddy Tim came over and helped me for a little. We were able to pull the old exhuast off and cut it down to 1.5 ft sections with my other friend's (Chris) sawzaw. That thing was a lot of fun! We also were able to cut the old toe arm off and install a new rear toe arm with all new hardware. While he was having fun with that, i installed the rear brakes and suspension.
Pics from that day:

Today: I got a lot done today. Tiffany came over today for a little and helped me clean the carpet again and get that ready to go in. I installed the water pipe, fuel rail, water neck and thermostat and hooked up the heater hoses and return hose. I also installed the SS clutch line and installed all new SS socket cap bolts all around the car. All the bolts on top, the fenders, the bumper support and bumper and for the water neck and thermostat and fuel rail. They all got nice new hardware for CHEAP!

. Not bad though...


Go watch it? I said it, didn't I?? I love that movie. Vince Vaughn IS a very funny guy, but I think Will Ferrel's Chaz Rhinehold CAN NOT be overlooked.
..GROSS!
I like to PC job is this the home kit or TRGs work?
