My Build Thread LS1/FD Its Fast!

Nope, I wanted to do bushings but never did.

Man the ones I replaced were wrecked so bad. I should have taken pics.

I see that the swap is done…just want to see some pics! Seems like a ton of work is in this, and as an outsider it’s difficult to understand all that was involved other than you started with a donor, stripped it, put an LS in it…:slight_smile:

LOL yeah I understand. However the elitist photographer involved with this escapade posts whatever he posts. We are heading back out to finish up some work in a few hours I will see if I can convince him to get some shots of the motor. Looks like balls right now though. :frowning:

Check my LS1 FD thread, Mike. It’s not fully documented, but you should get a feel…

Some pics are coming in now!!! Thanks Ian!!! <3

We are going to hopefully finish getting this god awful BS out of the interior today and install the glass.

Its almost like I own a real car again!

EDIT: N/M… I see you found the pics.

my god that’s a lot of sound deadening.

LOL Ib4 JayS posted the same pics! But they are bigger and cooler hahaha

x2 is that how they come? that’s crazy

Naw it is what happens when you buy a car from a guy that tried to make his FD quiet and comfortable. Huge picard! This shit has been THE BIGGEST headache of the entire build. FML

<3 Fucking sound shit blows.

That’s shitty. How is it held down? spray adhesive?

It is like that dynamat stuff they sell at car audio places. I give the guy credit he for sure spent a good amount of time and money on it it just isn’t my bag.

The backing is like fucking tar.

Actually, it is tar. It’s some sort of asphalt-based sound deadener. Fail.

ahh that’s awful… weight reduction haha

Moving along :tup: gonna be pretty sweet!

wow looks great man…i love it! :tup: lmk when you get it back, i’d be down to come over and help.
