Well it's been a while since ive updated this thread, and there's lots of goodies added!

Quick update - after several timing belt issues...and i mean several...I finally managed to get it timed properly with no issues! no walking off the gears no pulleys breaking, notta, so it runs! woohoo! Also upgraded my camgear bolts to ARP, best money i've ever spent haha $75 for 2 bolts...but theyre soo much better than stock by far!

After getting it running nicely, turns out my alternators shot after putting a whopping 3kms on it! haha literally drove it up and down the street a couple times and it died on me! wtf...so I snagged another one from hardk0re...and with my luck and his parts...it caught fire haha. just the terminal extension though. phew! haha luckily I keep a fire extinguisher in my car now..



Now onto the body...

while priming the doors I noticed they were pretty brutal and rusted out. So luckily GFXJamie had a very lovely SVT part out so I snagged the doors and fenders off it. Looks killer!



As for my bumpers...the custom mades ones took one hell of a beating while the car was originally on the road for the whole...2 months haha So I took the time and re-inforced them on the inside and put all new rivits in, now just waiting till its in the garage again for fiberglassing. puddy and paint. That goes for both front and back. They look ugly now...But just give it time! Also picked up a new trunk lid, a nice clean look with no spoiler on it. also silver of coarse.

I also managed to snag Scorchers wheel spacers to try a new look. Doesn't look bad at all in my opinion. Still not sure how they ride though, Found out that 1 wheel stud in the back is stripped...so I gotta drill it out and replace it. time to upgrade to ARP.



wheelspacers...



Finally, onto the interior!

major overhaul here with some racing seats and corbeau LOW brackets for the focus. Its just like driving on the floor. With me being so tall its nice to have all the spare head room for once! haha. Also added to the car is guages...lots and lots of guages...7 in total now.




Since I wasnt expecting sooo many snagges (the plan was to get it on the road this spring), the car is going back underground for another major overhaul to finalize it to get it DONE for the first meet next spring!
This winter will include the turbo installation, new motor mounts...(350,000+ kms on these mounts), new subframes (front and back), 3" exhaust (coming soon! old one for sale). Lots of body work & Paint, and a good cleanup of wiring and hoses under the hood. clean that sh*t up! haha
