Did you take the blazer? haha

 

Naah, too hot of a ride for me.....

 

bahahahahaah^^^

wait you got all that stuff for 80 bucks?

is it like that at any U-Pull it?

 

At Harry's U-Pull-It, and the $80 includes 2 Air Conditioning evaporators that my dad bought too. So it may be more like $60-$70 depending on the cost of his stuff.

 

Junkyard gold...Texas tea!

 

hahah good stuff man.

 

positron, we still gotta do the meetup, I just won't need the wing....Means Ill have a finished car by then too.

 

Did you bring this to the pct collision shop to get shaved? if so me and a friend did it! lol I see your stang all the time in the lot, didnt know you were building a 240 coupe though! Id love to see how the builds going sometime

 

Yep that would be my trunk. How did it turn out? I just picked up my bored engine block so Ill be doing the assembly after spring break.

BTW are you a member of the racing association on campus?

 

It looks really good. Wasnt in bad condition to start but the shave turned out nice. Im not part of the racing association on campus cuz I dont have my car up here. I was part of the karting tourny tho. Is the car around school or do you have it back home?

 

The 240 is on jackstands in my garage. PM me and we can meet some place on campus when I bring up the motor after break. You're also more than welcome to come down to Selinsgrove some time and help turn a wrench. Any help on the project is appreciated.

BTW Project Update. I got the engine block back from the builder and cleaned it up last night. I hammered in 4 of the 6 freeze plugs tonight, waiting for the last 2 to arrive tomorrow. By the end of the weekend I should have the block painted in a nice new coat of red hightemp paint. Ill be positing pics in about 20 mins.

 

nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu dont paint the motor looks sooo fugly

 

Here are some pics for progress...

Engine bay is stripped, needs a cleaning then getting painted black or trunk liner black/grey speckle. Better at hiding crap than the red is....




Engine as we recieved it and after masking:




And an Idea of the paint we are going to use. Old school hot-rod thing with the painted engine. Note engine HAS been cleaned up in this pic.

 

Dad cleaning the block with a wire brush and die grinder:


Close up of his work:


Cleaned engine, driver side:


Cleaned engine, pass side:


Holy crap you can read the writing......


We just need to wipe it down with come acetone after the freeze plugs are installed, and then it gets some primer before the paint! Finally after a month of nothing, some progress is being made!

 

Sandblasting would have been the way to go. HAHA. Good stuff man.
