This is the lowest setting for the coil-overs.

Here is where the new battery cable comes out.

And the tube for the vent in the sealed box.

Here are all the gauges that I ran probes for today.

These are the new gauges I got from Turbo 3. A little ghetto rig until I can find a gauge pod for the idiot cluster.


The rear interior is all installed. I've found out the hard way what interior parts are interchangeable and which aren't.

Motor is just about done.

I ran a bunch of sensor through-out the car today. Here is the thermocouple and o2 sensor. Both lead inside the cabin to the appropriate gauge.

Water and oil temp gauges.

A nice close look at the oil fittings and lines.

These are the motor mounts my friend made for me. They are actually only a little stiffer than stock and I will need to put the metal cups back on.

Oil Filter relocation is complete.


Out with the old..

In with the Koni's. I was playing around with these on the car today and they are SO easy to adjust. We put the ride height at max and min just to see how it looked. I think I'll be setting em on low.

We finished the battery relocation this weekend. It went pretty smooth over-all,

But I am gonna have to pad the carpet a bit so the bin fits over top of the new batter box.

Also got the new dash and carpet in. The is definitly the hardest part of the interior swap. These two items took most of Sunday.

I really like the new look, even the seat belts look smoother. Can't wait to get all the trim pieces in!

Clips are all hooked up. They sent me the wrong TPS. I also need to get a water temp sensor.

Did some more cleaning on the interior with Simple Green.

Once I get the battery cable, I'll finish up the interior conversion.

New spot for the oil filter. This makes it much easier to change the filter, and I can use one that is MUCH larger.

I ripped the old grey interior out of the car today.


It went really fast until I got to the dash. Not sure if that was because of all the hidden screws, or the keg of Coors Light.

There is SO much dirt and funk under all the interior.

Tomorrow, I'll clean up this mess and start the install of the nice black interior.

It's starting to look like a motor! Still need some sensors and clips to complete the ecu install.
