Updates for "No Hands?"
Welcome back "No Hands" lol.
No hands is still alive to anyone who thought she was dead. I just started her up the other day, fired right up no problem. This is the year she gets painted. As soon as the snow starts going away I'm stripping the body CLEAN! and putting new sheet metal in the rust area's because I'm done pissing around with rust (only have a couple areas I have to touch, and only the area around the gas tank left under the car).
When spring comes I'm installing an intercooler, finishing my exhaust, putting in a holset hy35 (yes I bought one, just waiting on shipping
) put in my gauges (bought new ones) and then pull the transmission and fix a pesky leak it has from bad gasket from me (ooopps)
Anyways, I've gotten the final color I'm going with. It's a midnight blue with a black base coat under it to give it depth, and the top half will be a darkish silver. I hope to get the paint done by local shop that has a great reputation in the car seen. I hope to get all this done by may1st, but then again... who knows? lol
No pics of no hands right now, she is under 2 feet of snow
but I'll get some pictures for you guys when I start working on the engine next week and paint it. I hope to have the transmission out, fixed and put back in by the end of the week. Also hope to have the engine bay finished as well.
Anyways, the car is NEVER going to be sold, no matter what happeneds.

I'm going to be running a custom vacuum tree as well because I hate unused ports I'll post some pictures of it tomorrow if I get time for you guys
It is a vicious cycle upgrade this, upgrade that. But is it fun. Oh ya. Keep us informed.

Here is the new vacuum tree, looks alot cleaner then the old one. I wont install this till later because I'm painting the engine bay flat back and when I pull the engine (which will be this winter coming up) I'll paint the engine a different color.
I also have new gauges for the piller. They are smoked and light up white. They look nice. I have a NB a/f gauge, boost, temp, and oil pressure. Man did I get a deal on all of this!!!! All for $140
I can't get a picture of my gauges, but i'll get some pictures when I get them installed for all of you
