got some stuff done.
Downpipe/cat delete is done, not the best welds but it's strong as hell, and fits good.
I also installed my oil cooler. I had to make a whole on the chassis to put the lines through, right above the rail, not too big, but it still hurted as hell as i was cutting... I will be building some aluminum ducting for the coolers/bumper. Maybe, just maybe some for the brakes..
I also stripped the engine to a bare longblock and painted the block the best i could. I think it came out good for having the head installed. Then I finally torqued my manifolds and turbo with new bolts, new gaskets and all the goodies...
then the ricer inside of me told me to paint the covers...
then i finished putting my whole front end together.
New t-belt, adj exh sproket (zeroed...), all new seals, new t-belt idler and new tensioner pulley. Pretty fun stuff
then i finally closed it. I gotta say, call me a ricer or whatever u will, but i really loved the way the covers came out.
