I know you guys are ###### getting sick of seeing primer updates, but its all for the better! Painting for real this saturday. So the next update will be around then and the car will be white!!!

Looks good!!! Other than the hand...

Finally got the car ready for paint. Took it to my Dads work yesterday (which was my birtchday btw!) and got it set up. We had the body shop painter actually spray the car. Im going back to the shop tomorrow to actually pic it up. I cant wait to see this thing put together!














I also was able to pick up my block from the machinist yesterday as well. Everything went so well yesterday it was amazing.

Looks like some one will be on the road this summer. Good winter time project and to get it done and happy birthday.

Thanks for the comments guys as well as the bday wishes. Now I can finally get a start with the motor and wiring of this thing. Ive recently been thinking of not even running my 20g set up this summer just ### it will give me more down time while making that swap. Might as well start fresh with a new set up and progress through the summer!!

Very Neat...I see how far you have come in just a short time, a lot of folks take awhile to build..haha....great work!....going to stick on this build for awhile to see the thing finished! Super!

Picked up my block from the machine shop last week and finally decided I should start doing the rest of my wiring.. FML.. So, I bolted the trans to the block and bolted up a couple motor mounts and laid the head on. Now, mind you this is ALL TEMPORARY!! No need to tell me I should clean the trans or paint the valve cover blah blah. Itll all be done when my wiring harness is finished. This is just so I can bolt up the necessary things to run the wires how I want. PICs!!

looking good. that is the same way I did the harness on the evo put the tranny on a bare block and head and went to town with it

 

[4G63_Attack]

I can't wait for the finish product.

 

[crash89]

Heres what I got done today with the wiring. Ive previously eliminated numerous sensors and cut the harness in half so I could run the wires the way I wanted. In this pic every necessary sensor is plugged in except the coolant sensors, back up lights and the front o2.

Looking good tom! I forgot to ask you but does pakes have a torque plate when they did the machining?

 

[crash89]

Umm.. Im not sure Kenny.. Youd have to ask them..

So, I havent gotten "much" done on the car recently.. Been waiting on parts and things to come in the mail. I ordered the same wire loom that Turbosax used in his fusebox relocation here >> http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/hangout/298569-my-fuse-box-relocation-project-log-17.html#post152051160 annnd the loom, >> Techflex cable wrap (7) sizes / per Foot / 1/8 inch to 2 inch

So, I got 98% of the wiring harness finished and started to loom it up! Take a looksie!
