        • Started to install my coilovers between tstorms, and found my strut mounts are falling apart. So, waiting for more parts now.

          And started cleaning out my shell in prep to swap everything over once it's all nailed down. Got attacked by wasps in the process. Hateful things nest anywhere that sits still for at least a month. :evil:

          • I finished porting the intake and solidified the engine mounts by filling with dense 100% silicone. I have the engine mostly together on the stand, (I am shy a few hose clamps to finish the oil cooler around the filter port). The internal are new and ready for action. We plan on setting in the rebuilt motor on Saturday. My buddy Gorgonheimer is coming to join the cabal.

              • @!$$#& the #^@% off because the very first thing I attempt to put in for my A/C system, the condenser, the thread for the fitting where the dryer hose connects to the condenser strips. :cussing:

                Now I need another condenser.

                I wish I knew the fitting was aluminum or else I wouldn't have even attempted to remove the dryer, now I am going to be out $26 and gas to go down to Cincinnati and get the other one off. If I remember correctly it also is a Factory system. (Relays under the battery.)

                EDIT: I have nothing to lose, I am going to try an jbweld the hose into the condenser.

                • Leaving for my exhaust install now.
                  I'll be sitting in his lobby until its done.

                  Im so excited.
                  I've never had a full exhaust fabbed up.
                  But I've gotten close.

                  Will post some clips later in the afternoon when i get home.

                  • Got my stainless steel exhaust bent up today.
                    This guy doesn't mandrel bend
                    but he packs his tubes full of sand
                    to help prevent corners from getting super crushed
                    like my last exhaust.
                    I'll get a clip up later but for now here's pics.

                      • It's quiet too.
                        Got the biggest resonator I could find on there.
                        The exhaust note is very clean and not overly aggressive.

                        With the straight header on the drive over there it was too loud though.

                        Plus being stainless steel everything
                        It should survive the Pittsburgh winters longer than the actual car.

                            • Installed my A/C condenser fan (after a year). Will wire it tomarrow if it doesn't rain.
                              If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

                              • Finished my B6 head porting. There's more I would like to do, but this is what it gets for now. Now I'm waiting for Matt Dickmeyer to send me a cam so I can get it back together.
