front end is stripped of sheetmetal, motor/tranny is hanging by mounts… need to bust motor tranny out, and fish out all my wires for my stand alone fuel system… then rip my dash apart, and save all the gauge wiring… then build my own dash out of sheetmetal or aluminium… then delete vw gay ass wiring harness and heater box… then reweld some stuff, weld in other stuff (smooth firewall), sand original paint, hang new fenders, weld in new rad support… then strip the car to rolling shell then paint the car… then install flexalite heater core, and ez wiring harness, plus hook up electric speedo and gas gauge since im ditching oem cluster… then install new ground control coilovers… by this time, my block will be done, so that means i still have to order pauter rods, je pistons, arp main studs, 72 lb injectors, new intercooler, all gaskets, fluids… then assemble the motor, of course painting my block valve cover… then order aluminium pipe to build custom intake manifold, get a tps sensor for mustang throttle body… mount that shit on my motor drop motor back in, run al new i/c piping, hook up rad w/ new flexalite fan, build a 3 inch exhaust turbo back, check all my wiring, and hopefully all lights work and car runs… then get it tuned in w/ the bigger turbo/ injectors then proceed to race all of u fucks 🙂 see u in a month or two… ---
