So a good number of busy days have passed by.
I rented a Uhaul dolly for $60 and moved the trailer this past Saturday. My parents wanted to help and that they did with the pushing of the car on and off the dolly. I also felt like Hercules when I picked the front of the car clean off the ground by 3 feet when I needed to adjust it on the dolly lmao...

This is as we left the tire shop


And this is when I pulled up to my new working location


I have never pulled anything with the truck before. But it felt like I had nothing behind me. As I gave it a shot of gas and the rear tires on the focus started to rub creating a smoke show behind me lol It was good.

I also dropped the motor off at the unit the previous day and it made it in one piece.



Testing out my couplers


I found shorter bolts for my EGR delete plate. Nice and clean now.


What can I say, it's an attention whore.


Here is a look at the upgraded intercooler piping. Also it all fits perfectly around the engine. Just waiting to see how it fits around the engine with it bolted to the car lol


Needs to be rolled still.


So the other night I decided to start cleaning up the engine bar and taking the rust proof of that I had sprayed before storage. Then I sanded it down and sprayed her black as night 3 times.






I still haven't decided if I am going to cut the brackets off for the coolant and power steering but I may just leave them for now.

I tore off that stupid carpet on the back wall and I figured it would be all rush and full of body holes. BUT, it's spotless so I will just paint her black as well.


I plan to remove the EVAP system and cut and hid the Fuel line going to the fuel rail. The coolant lines at the bottom will be SS braided hose and the A/C lines at the top will be cut and removed FOREVER!!!
BECAUSE RACECAR


Now to the MTX, again...
It now requires a 3rd gear sprocket. So Ken stepped up and ordered that for me as they had 1 left in stock whereever in deep space he finds these items lol. JD says maybe Monday I could have it or that's when he could have it put together. I'm in no rush but I don't want this to go too long into the summer. I'd like to drive the car before snow hits the ground.

That's it for now. Any comments from any of you?
