I could use a non factory oil cooler threaded nipple thingy. (if you know what I mean). Im ditching the stock water/oil cooler and need the short male-male nipple to be able to mount the sandwich adaptor to the oil filter housing.
EDIT: Some sort of old school front strut tower brace would be awesome too. ABD, older autotech etc.
Someone else on here supposedly had some at one time but never came through.

Spent most of the night cleaning and working on the other car, but I did get the front lip at least set in place and off the floor.
Dan
i dont have any spare oil cooler or a spare front strut bar…post it on dubsinthebuff.com
Your garage is so clean!
Its def not 100% clean, but its alot better. I just cant function in a giant ball of shit. Gota really clean up every once in a while, otherwise I start to freak out.
Dan
ughh, I need a garage
No real progress as I have been working on the cavy the last couple weeks.
I did, however, get the parts for the rear ss brake lines in. I have one side about half installed, and may try to get that project finished up tonight.
A few parts to freshen up the motor came in yesterday:
Timing belt and pulley
Head gasket
Oil pan gasket
Water pump and housing
I measured up for the plug wires last night. Im going to order those today from Magnecor so they can ship them back with the wires for the cavy.
Dan
Got the drivers side rear brake line in , finally. The new, shorter, lines were just right.
I couldnt get the pass side soft line off, the nut was fn frozen solid. I ended up cutting off the hard line. I will replace the nut and reflare the line tomorrow night so I can finally button up the brakes on this thing.
The plug wires came in friday from Magnecor as well as a few new silicone couplings to replace some of the older Turbonetics ones I mocked things up with.
Dan
BUMP
No progress on this in forever. As soon as I finish up the cavy projects Im gona bring it back in to try to get the engine bay work done.
Updates should start in the next month or so.
Dan
Its baaaack! I havent touched this in almost 18mo. Feels good to be getting back to it finally.
Good progress tonight. Only got a couple hours in, but made good use of it.
Removed:
-Dash
-Cruise control wiring
-a/c wiring
-speaker wiring
-heater box
I also figured outa bunch of wiring that I didnt have labelled. Still a bit more to go through, but Ill work on it little at a time.
Dan
Nice!
:tup:
I love wiring…!
Come on over. Free dinners. lol. And I think this is definitly going to need some LED lighting upgrades 
Honestly I dont hate wiring but Id much rather weld something.
Dan
Wow, I forgot all about this project. Good to see it going again. :tup:
Excellent work!
Thanks guys.
Good progress again tonight.
Removed the factory wiring, fuse box etc
Throttle, clutch and speedo cables
Master cylinder and booster
Hood
HVAC box from the rain tray area
Wiper motor, arms etc
Then I started grinding spot welds on what remains of the rain tray that I cut out long ago. I worked on that for about 45mins, and have most of it removed.
Dan
LOTS of progress this week. Tues night I finished removing the last of the rain tray and started filling in some holes on the firewall. Last night I welded shut 28, yes 28, holes in the upper core support, and got a decent start on the one seam near the drivers shock tower, and the drivers side trans mount.
Dan
nice!
Two more items checked off my list last night:
Finished trimming the bracket for the wiper motor mount, then welded a panel in to fill in the front of it (which also made it a bit stronger). Im considering putting a dimpled hole in, but I havent decided yet.
And filled the hole that is normally on the drivers side of the it.
I also added a piece of metal near the headlight bracket where I had to trim it to fit the hot side IC piping. I probably could have left it but it was sorta flimsy without the the bend, so I added one back in.
