My friend is buying my wheels and tires. It's bittersweet cause 2 redlines will have the same style wheels in the same town, but saves me shipping and helps him look fresh lol.

 

that makes me sad

 

Awwwweeeee Yeeeeaahhhhhh!!!

 

I'm getting so pumped! Gonna run the shifter cables this weekend and probably bolt the flywheel/clutch/p-plate on and maybe put the trans on the motor. If I really get going I might put the motor and trans in the car right away, but I'm thinking I may wait a few days.

 

No time for waiting! You've already been slacking off in AZ.

 

It was a much needed vacation from this hell we call ND

Also, I'll have 2-3 weeks off starting in 2 weeks before I start my new job so I'll be puttin in work!

 

holy ******* update man! thats a ton of parts lol

 

Yeah it is lol I think I had more fun opening all the boxes that I bought and knew what was inside than I did on Christmas when I got gifts from others

 

I'M JELLY! lol

 

Wow. I've wanted them for a while now but can't fork the money out yet. My car isn't where I want it performance wise. Until then the polished tc wheels will do. Congrats though!

 

Waiting for you to match your 119mph traps...on 18lbs lol

 

Got a few things done this week/last weekend, but not a whole lot because I've been sick. I gots Bronchitis, ain't nobody got time fo dat!

Bolted up the flywheel/clutch/pressure plate, then bolted the trans up to the motor. Then I pulled the old shifter base and cables out and ran the new cables through the firewall and got the new shifter base and shifter in. Thats where I'm at now. Might put the mounts in and drop the engine in this weekend. Haven't decided yet.

The breather cap filter is simply for oil cap purposes until its in the car with the catch can hooked up lol

 

Some progress is better then no progress. Keeping picking at it and it'll be done soon.

I can't wait till we can get to a point in our Redline build to do a motor build.

 

Made some more progress this weekend. It was -50* with the windchill, so I just turned the heat way up in the shop and stayed in.

Got the engine in the car on Saturday and started hooking things up.


6-speed fully installed and clutch mostly bled, snapped this pic after I finished up with the interior part of the install


And have most of the sensors hooked up and radiator hoses/coolant lines hooked up, this this where I left off yesterday. About to put the fusebox back in. After the initial start, a lot of this will come back out after I mark which wires I can still see and what needs to be moved.

 

bad ass dizzle dawg

 

love how that shifter looks. can't wait to see this thing rip

 

Lookin great man! So jelly of dat 6 speed

 

x2

 

Thanks guys. I got a lot more done this weekend than I anticipated. I was "maybe gonna drop the engine in" then I just got in the zone. Terrible weather makes me coupe up in the shop lol

 

plugging the intake ports is worthless when the injector ports are wide open

 

Always has to point out the little things

 

I just left them in because thats how I got it lol. I'm motivated to keep working on it now. I've been enjoying it.

 

Coming along great man. Keep it up. Your over there working in -50° and I'm over here being cold in 50° mornings only haha.

I like the new shifter.

 

Thanks Richie!

I'm working in 70* actually, or whatever I set it to BUT, its cold as fak outside haha! I know what you meant. Supposed to be pretty nice this weekend, so maybe some of the snow will melt. I'm always satisfied with that lol

 

Get down get down get rolling dawg
