I finally have decided to create one of these cool threads. The car was purchased as a (barely) rolling shell. What a PITA to get it home(on a two wheel dolly behind a limping SUV)...story was I am the third owner after granny and some kid who wanted to build but went broke. It is a pretty clean chassis but nothing amazing. Now lets note this aint no effin' quick build,... its gonna be a while. This is a one man show, no professionals, no 'experts' just some home brew garage built...shit (EDIT: I have sourced a few aluminum TIG jobs - to hard working friends of mine) I am learning a shit ton along the way and hope to help spread knowledge in the process.

This is the first photo I have of the shit bucket

While I was on the search for a solid chassis to build I decided to get to work on re-building my SR setup. Previosly blown up in my last car...machine shop...blah blah blah

block

fresh deck and hone

ACL bearings

Cradle in

CP Pistons, Eagle Rods

Also note the painted block, went for aluminum looking ish stuff, i can dig it

More motor work, hell yes im building inside!

ARP headstuds

BC 264 cams, springs, retainers, seals blah blah

For now S15 t28...then who knows

At this point the motor is pretty much done except for small stuff..

I gutted the car the second it was home...and damn i miss that truck, my old DD shit was fun as titties

and more to come as I upload more pics
