Paint scraping , yeah fun stuff.(9 layers, YES 9!)


All wiring and I mean ALL is stripped!
gonna do a "painless" wiring harness.

Exactly 63 pounds of wires,relays and fuses! :shocked:
the small bundle (top left) is the engine control harness and ECU. all this went into garbage bags and went up in the attic just in case I need parts of it later on (Im sure I will) :dunno1:




Tranny is out! The turbo is in the bucket the tranny is sitting on., ever see a $300.00 5 gallon bucket before? :shocked:


Engine is out!


Tunnel


Engine block and head are almost ready for machine shop, for a 3 angle valve job, a .020 over bore and the usual treatment.

nothing too bad. Cylinder#4 had some water in it= bad head gasket, thats all.


Ready for sandblasting and paint.The exaust manifold and Turbo are going to jet hot.


Intake sandblasted WOW looks like new!

Now for a bit of polishing of the inside. Vroooomm

Gives new meaning to stripping it down... nice work! Can't wait to see it finished. What color are you going to go with?

Born and RaiZed

Color is going to be "black cherry" real real dark and deep red. with grey and black interior.....

engine will remain mostly stock except for porting and polishing, a mild cam, more boost, Im going for ultra light weight. which will equal FAST!

Trust me, the list is real long.....

THIS IS A 10 YEAR project! dont expect to see completed pictures anytime soon HAHAHAHA Im in absolutely no rush to get this done!
