Default Finally got it started today . .

Life just keeps getting in the way, but then, that's life. I have been collecting the system and other additions I want to do at the same time over the past couple of months and, this weekend, I finally had nothing else get in the way of starting the blower installation.

I'm doing a V3Si, upgraded fuel system, DeWitt Spal fan setup, re-doing some the engine bay wiring and plumbing, coil relo, Mantic Twin, CF drive shaft, poly and solid alum. couplers, Pfadt tranny mount (if it ever comes), LG coilovers and a few other odds and ends including a few specialty tools (as if I don't have enough already). This is on top of heads/cam/gears and some other stuff done over the years.

I tend to be **** about my projects so I spend lots of time prepping. This weekend was for prepping the garage and getting the car ready for the many weekends to come when I actually have the time to work on it.

I have done lots of projects but this time I thought it a good idea to pull the front panels off to make access to everything easier.













Wife even let me store the panels in the spare room.


Resting 'til next weekend - I'm starting on the drivetrain and fuel system.

Understand this - those parts are spotless. Plus, she thinks they are works of art that belong hanging on the wall. What can I say - she's a keeper.

If you were a bachelor you could store the body panels like this:





Seriously though, clean car, and good mod list. This is going to be one build that will be fun to watch.
