new build!

[Advancedynamix]

Oh good! Glad you guys are making good use of these parts. Keep up the good work!

[Festiva_Fred]

I got the trans! And intermediate shaft Glad you got the B6T William!

[Advancedynamix]

Finally! Hope you got the trans too.

+1 on this. Trans and axles are more valuable than the engine.

[shadetree]

Major score ! Awesome day indeed .

[Hot_Wheels]

Finally! Hope you got the trans too.

That plug looks to be in pretty good shape. Looks like you got a good score. Take pics as move through it. Fred thought the Capri got there because of the tore up clutch.

Hoping it is a good engine for you

I so wanted to come down and take pics of you getting the B6T out. I was gonna call it "Junkyard Honeymoon" :laughing4:

Picked this b6t up today picknpull half off .
89$, before tax and fees.
Turbo looks clean.
Plugs looked new as well I'm gunna pull the head and check it out I think I will use the turbo parts and put them on my rebuilt b6d.

I haven't updated this in a while I have been driving it around a little it was way down on power but some timing adjustment did the trick and freshen up the year old fuel should help some too .
I'm not getting too crazy with this as I'm swapping in my b6d as soon as I can find someone to rebuild the head .
I swapped the silver bumpers for my black ones.
I'll get some new pictures up soon been super busy.

Thanks for the tip I'll have to check that stuff out.
I planned on some kind of coating along with Sim rust preventer.
We use it at work to restore factory corrosion resistance.
Use it with a wond that sprays 360 and flexes thew the frame.

[Advancedynamix]

While your down there, use a rust neutralizing coating (I use mar-hyde) and then undercoating on your brake and fuel lines. The tank vent line is pretty susceptible to rotting through on these.

Pulled the beam today.
This is my makeshift shelter in preparation of the rain.

got the old axle out and the aspire axle cleaned scuffed and painted.
From this
To this
So now I'm waiting for the paint to cure so I can put it in.

Oh and this is what the replacement car looks like underneath
it's solid and I am going to Clean and paint this

[Fordverde]

this is good purple : c_minnesota_vikings_helmet.jpg

[william]

I've looked at that color as well I think the coad is JA iirc.
Sapphire Blue. I really want a solid color but almost all is purl or matallic

[David88]

Looking to go purple just can't quite find the color I want.
I picked up a 99 mazda miata booster this weekend for 26 bucks.
I'm hoping this is the one the swaps right in. Picks after install.

This purple color might look good. Its a Ford factory color. Not sure of the name or code but I saw one locally and I looked up this pic on google.

[william]

Well pulled the rear beam from ol crusty and going to prep it for paint and freshen up the breaks and bearings.
The squeamish way want to look away.
