Getting closer! Really wish i had a garage or this car would be done. Swap wont be done until spring unfortunately. I will be buying all of the parts necessary between now and then.

Touched up the firewall and added black coated brake lines from the donor car. I wont be running the firewall mat so it was important to have it look 100%.


Fuse box harness is run inside the inner fender. Have to drop the subframe again to refurb everything suspension wise.


Got the 2.5 dropped off yesterday. Cant wait to drop this thing in. It will just be a bolt on build for now because i cant have this car on stands for another year.




Motor is very clean. Cant see any wear under the valve cover. Oil pan pictures to come shortly.



Found some aftermarket parts locally for a great price. Obx header, cosworth replica intake, and a fswerks cold air for $180. Intake has a hairline crack due to shipping but nothing jb weld cant fix.




The intake will have to be ported heavily to work with the 2.5. Ill be tackling that over the winter. Here is the 2.5 o-ring over the intake. I will basically be removing the gasket seat and making a thermal gasket to size.


And last but not least i got a set of mk2 rs replica hood vents from the UK. Wish i thought of doing these before i painted the car. But life goes on


Don't mind the quarter inch thick layer of dust on the car LOL


More parts and updates to come soon!
