Default project update!

Well thought i would share some progress with you guys! got some good work done, still got a good ways to go
K guys, got a new tool! a metal cutting saw so i could start working on my headers



After 2 days of working, i have made some decent progress on them.



Obviously i have only tacked the pipes into place incase i need to change things up a little.



PS- does anyone have recomendations for someone who could coat the headers? (i am making them out of mild steel)



















DRIVER SIDE















Here are some pics of the new wiring harness i have, replaces ALL the old stuff.







More to come

not really, its 1 3/4" pipe. Most guys use this size or smaller. And the plan is to get the car running, make a season or two with it, then go back and convert it to either a big single, or twin turbos
