Thanks again guys, your feedback keeps me motivated. I’m 19 right now, 20 in September. Been working on cars and such since early high school with my brother Ted, his first mk2 gti really got me into cars in the first place. ---

Oh, it kinda looks like the Cadillac Escalade embroidered headrests. I’m sure they’d fit too. ---

Thanks, they only ever made ricer bumpers, the lip I have is from a cobalt. Buick LeSabre lips fit pretty good apparently. What manifold are you referring to honda4life? ---

Yeah I think Mach 1’s fit best on 2nd gen sedans like mine, too big for my liking. Got it out and around more this weekend, loving it. Just need an alignment… ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/21/apype2y3.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/21/apype2y3.jpg) And now it’s tucked away for the week ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/21/6ugavyze.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/21/6ugavyze.jpg) ---

Lol everyone always says all I need to do now is paint it, and I say no way. The color has grown on me so much. Plus it’s stupidly practical since it never looks dirty, but cleans up awesome. ---

Pulled the motor this past week to do a noisy timing chain tensioner, so I did the guides sprockets and water pump at the same time. New oil pan as well. Needless to say that was a fun time. ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/02/qydamu2a.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/02/qydamu2a.jpg) ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/02/e6yqu9ys.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/02/e6yqu9ys.jpg) ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/02/ugu2upy7.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/02/ugu2upy7.jpg) ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/02/y4u8a3e2.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/02/y4u8a3e2.jpg) Then went all no hood for a day while I buttoned things up. ![http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/02/2yry6u2a.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/02/2yry6u2a.jpg) ---

:tup: Ya, never try doing one of these while it’s still in the car. The timing cover/motor mount is a stupid design IMO. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/bens-polished-turd-build/269054.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/bens-polished-turd-build/269054.md?page=4)
