Baked headlights?

I'm an idiot, it was valve covers. You people really need to stop baking car parts...

"Evan, dinner's ready! It's your favorite. Valve covers and cheese!" - my girlfriend

Well, I'm pulling the FS this weekend. The KL won't go in for a bit while I combine wiring harnesses and wiring and clean up a ton of stuff. Wanna come over and give me a hand?

And I do have a Sparco wheel with machine gun and rocket launcher buttons. But Peaches had the huge tach on his MZ3. But I'm still the ricer. lulz.

Gravel? With my paint job? Are you mad? Hahaha

That's pretty sweet though. I love how you can feel those big V8's thump your chest just at idle.

Made a bit of progress today. Put her up on jackstands and started prepping the motor to get pulled and labeled anything I might need to keep in the harness.

If I ever have this much negative camber and try to be herrafrush, please punch me in the throat.

Before;

Currently;

And I finally managed to break a bolt. One little 10mm that holds one of the A/C lines to the pump. Good, I didn't want you anyway, turd!

 

[RicoP5]

[Lewis7789]

Yep, it's for sale too.

[JDM_Pro5]

Looking good Evan. I would love to have that car as-is, except for all the disassembling you did yesterday. Def can't wait to see this v6 beauty!

Sort of, I'm going to combine what I need from the P5 harness (very little) and combine it with the PGT harness. Did you need a complete harness?

 

[Cleverfrog]

No, just the cam sensor pigtail.

 

[Lewis7789]

PM me your addy and I'll send it to you. I don't need it.
