Lewis7789's 2003 Protege5 build thread

[PrinceValorum]

I was a nice guy and gave my old SS clutch line to Wes when he bought my trans.

Now I'm going to put my debit card a way for a couple days.

I'll make it up to you, hon.

Yeah, I'm sure your card is smoking now... Might have to change your name to Capt. Impatient!

^^ This is what happens when I don't come in to work...

And just got off the phone with CorkSport for some polyurethane shifter bushings, bronze-oil shifter bushings, exhaust gaskets and a SS clutch line since I was a nice guy and gave my old SS clutch line to Wes when he bought my trans.

Now I'm going to put my debit card a way for a couple days.

I almost mentioned I have one of those I haven't installed yet.

Ya, kinda touchy huh.

Chris, Ivan was totally just kidding. The truck driver was super nice (and I gave him a $ tip) and we bull-shat with him for a while too. We carefully removed the plastic from the hood and bumper and like I told you guys, I greatly appreciate that you guys washed her, wrapped her up and packed her so well.

Your response here.

I will go ahead and publicly apologize to fishdonotbounce as I was way out of line in my post... I have been under a lot of stress with work lately and the comments on the pics, albeit in a humorous nature, did not sit well with me. I don't know if most people here know, but I had spent an entire weekend detailing this car and making her pristine and perfect. I literally put my sweat, some blood, and everything else I could it to making it look amazing. The combination of work stress (which I am now physically sick from...) and said comments made me snap and post in a way I shouldn't have. I'm sorry to have caused drama and I apologize to all I have slighted.

unfortunately on the internet it's VERY easy for words to come off the wrong way and piss people off.

Unfortunately this is true... I took those words in a bad light and I caused some drama llama.


I'm sorry to everyone and I won't be posting here on 247 again.

Apology accepted. I apologize as well. There's no reason for you not to post in here again though.

Say what? Where, so I can clean it up with Clorox and bleach. Juuuust kidding, buddy. I greatly appreciated everything you and Shae did getting her cleaned up and well packed onto the trailer. The paint on this thing is freaking amazing. You have no idea how nice it is driving a car that actually looks good too. My old P5 was a rust bucket.

And no need to stop posting in here, mate. It was a misunderstanding, it's all gravy now. Hell, if Phen and I stopped posting every time we got into a dispute our post count would be 12. haha

A couple of night shots of the newly dubbed "Good and Evil".

 

[Josue6WGN]

I will never tell because you will never see it from my awesome detail job.

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

awesome maturity.. don't see that all too often! good job ya'll!

 

[Lewis7789]

Ivan, I love that front lip on Shamu.

While doing some light research I found the Mishimoto universal radiator just might fit the P5. The inlet/outlets are in the right spot and I would just need to trim the top elbow and rotate it. Just gotta find a shop with a Tig welder. That's certainly an option to look into though. Hey Wes, wanna buy my old radiator? haha

[fishdonotbounce]

Thanks dude! I love the way it looks. Ryan is so awesome for letting me have it for that price.

I must have missed it but what radiator were you originally planning on using?

 

[PrinceValorum]

Hey Wes, wanna buy my old radiator?

Actually yeah, I was going to ask you about that today but forgot. I'll have to get you the name and number of that dude with the TIG. He knows his stuff. He's built a few kit Cobras for people, NBD.

 

[Neps_02Pro5]

how did you get the HDLP's to work? If you can point me in the right direction for this please. I want to get those style lamps.

 

[Lewis7789]

What are HDLP's? If you're talking about the MSP headlights, they came with the car so I can't help out much there.

 

[Shadow102]

might want to hit the engine bay, left front suspension, and a couple other places. Left plenty of blood in places working on the car.

Yes headlamps...sorry parts guy abbreviation lol HDLP = headlamp...just one question though do the amber corners have a socket and bulb and work for you as parking lamps?

I can ask Fenton. I think he has a tig to work with.
