yeah even fabric can scuff things. I've seen wheels get damaged from the supposed "soft microfiber" covers they put on the straps. Hopefully it didnt do anything. If its strapped by the frame also it should keep it from rocking and bouncing any which is what would cause the wheels to get damaged.

 

Wheels are fine. Not a new scratch on them. I am just STOKED to get this car back on the road.

 

pics with bumpers or ban... and rolling shots!

 

In due time. I need the car to turn over first...

 

for real you can't rush perfection.

 

I'll come shoot your car when I head down to get tuned again :-D

 

Love the color you choose. Can't wait for pics with the front on

 

Thanks guys!!!!! It means a lot especially when I know lots hate bolt on kits, and we are in the age of rice for our cars... But I will get shots up soon after its finished. Well kind of done as I'm still probably going air suspension and a different front bumper. It's getting there though !!!

 

Well I was handed some BAD news today... There are many large cracks in the turbo piping and one near my headers... So they will have to bend new turbo piping which is good and bad. Good because its new piping and will be better run. Bad cause its an expense. Also I was on the Stock MAF sensor and they are saying I need a new one...

 

Yikes just a minor setback though man just keep goin

 

You know you needed that Uprev MAF .

 

I wonder if it's cause those freezing temps up there ?

 

The car at one time was located on the East coast.... So I Think that had A LOT to do with it... I should have bought a west coast car O WELL live and learn.

It is a minor setback... We are probably talking 200 for the MAF and a few hundred to rebend the piping... Im telling them to not worry how the bay looks... I will get to that later I guess... I will most likely powder coat everything at some point anyways... Maybe polish it all who knows... But for now its a setback.

 

To anyone still following my build. I saw my car last night. Got some good news and some bad news. There is obviously more wrong with my car than I thought. They hooked up the car on the Dyno and the tuner could not talk to the ECU... Someone tapped a wire INTO on of the Cam signal wire... So that threw it off... They had to fix it now all is well there... I have all new turbo piping and intercooler piping and new couplers..... UGH!!!! Lots to do. Also since the last time I posted I passed 2 kidney stones and have a baby girl due on Valentines day!

 

still here dude lol..You doin alright?
