    Removed the air intake piping resonating chamber thingy. The box that hangs off the intake tube.
    A 3/4" threaded PVC plug fits perfectly.

    Troubleshooted subwoofer and determined to be bad amp. New one in transit.
    Freaking Texas heat killed the old amp on a car trip to Austin.

    Hit it around 4:30 am this morning trying to beat the 105-110 heat index forecasted for today. Going to give Frankenstiva some new paint next week. I wanted to replace my bumper covers first as the others had some issues and I didn’t want to try putting freshly painted covers on for fear of cracking or scratching the paint.


     
    Some fire damage to the front cover

    Another paint problem

    Took me about five hours and was a bigger pita then I expected. The rear beam was pretty rusted but I had another one that was better. Spent about $300 on paint related stuff and going to get some help from a buddy who will swap labor with me.










    Sure looks weird seeing black bumpers on Frank

    today i am pulling a BP out and checking over the 6 puck clutch for marring/damage.

    If everything is in place and undamaged ill have to check over the crank on the BP (there was some knocking towards the transmission end, possibly a rod knock on cyl 4)

    if the crank/rods are loose ill throw in a different BP and put the old one in my rebuild pile.

    reminds me, i should really get around to building one of these things up for proper boost.

    Ordered both axles from Rockauto.com. Not sure which car will get them.
    Can't wait to finish putting the 93L together. Got plenty to do before FM5.

    In the last few days I've put new struts/shocks, new tires and a new windshield. Tonight I redid the tint across the top of the windshield. Also peeled the old tint off one of the back wndows and redid it too.
