Lol, thanks guys! And its def a street car... haha
WELL!
I've been working on the car all week trying to get it prepared for start up....
I'm almost 100% here now. I got the wastegates welded on and installed, air lines ran to them, i used the block silicone stuff that pushes into the fitting and locks in. I really like this stuff, makes tight bends, look clean, and matches everything else.
I cleaned out the charge pipe, the intake, and fuel rails, FINALLY removed the tape from the heads and INSTALLED AND BOLTED DOWN THE INTAKE! That is a big deal haha.
I finally got my square/triangle coils in today, and got them on, sorta... Not exactly sure what im going to do with this.
As it stands, i need to install my new 160# upper injectors when they arrive tomorrow and drill some holes in the trunk for the new pump feed lines since going cell rather then sumped tank, fill her up with oil, hook up the spark plugs, connect the battery and and fill it up with water and fuel... Oh and connect the fuel lines, im sure there is some other little things to do, but they will be systematic, even spent time cleaning things up, i like to pile **** on the cowl, thats all put away, and cleaned, windows cleaned... im getting ready for a fire up this weekend, hopefully.
Here are some current pics.
Oh yeah, the thing that might put a hitch in my giddy up... When re-installng the darn turbo hot pipes, i broke the passenger side vband clamp... piece of junk, so gonna have to try to find one local... that should be fun...

ALMOST WRAPPED UP!
I've had it running again and changed the oil again, i plan to have it driving by this time next week. Run trans cooler lines and mount gas pedal, bleed brakes and blammo! Road worthy!

I demand that the note below your username say "Piler of Cowls."
I noticed that.....and like your style.......I have a really really bad habit of piling **** up on the front air damn. Stuff is always falling down off the front or falling down into the front chassis. Who knows how much time i've spent cutting my knuckles up/cussing while trying to rescue tools/parts. Its so subconscious that I have given up trying to fix the habit.
Oh and cool car dude haha.
