And We're Back!

And We're Back!  I'm going to assume the 1500 views of the last blog post might mean some people were awaiting the return update. :)



I guess so much for the 2 weeks I was hoping for.  1.5 months later, the car is back and driving.  The new built 5-speed transmission with a HKS 4.11, and a built non-ACD transfer case are in the car.  Build work thanks to Jon @ TRE in Michigan.  His work is top notch!  The transmission came back so clean you could eat off it.  I'm sure the car will drive even better afterwards! 

Now, an updated list of what I will try to finish before I leave for Lincoln in 7 days:

1.Remove full dash, air ducting, sound deadening behind dash, and tar of floors
2.Remove ACD pump (still in there from swap, but now not functional. About 20lbs off the left front of the car)
3.Remove Headlights and HID ballasts
4.Make A)"Custom" Sawzalled fenders to allow additional lowering or B) Custom C/F widebody fenders
5.Re-align for additional front camber
6.Remove tail-lights and make custom covers (C/F?)
7.Swap springs front to rear
8.Remove A/C system
9.Make drivers front window, removeable for rain events
10.Tape passanger door lock so it stops locking everytime you close door
11.Fiberglass/modify 2nd bumper and paint to match


So I guess I will have to see what I can make happen.  I'll have some updates coming shortly showing the carnage of the transmission/transfer-case.  I'll try to keep a detailed picture log as well, however getting as much done as possible is the goal.
