So I’m back again lol
Got the rear back in the car and all sound and good with that.

Took the car out a couple of times and realized now I’m to the point to needing relocated lower brackets. So that’ll be a winter project this time.

Last rental I went to at MDIR I must’ve really had some good air because my intercooler blew apart. YES APART! I did get some good shots though while there

That will blow a pressure cooker. That’s a tough engine.
Not worried about the motor lol planned on hitting 35# this past year with it
Sorry if I missed it but what turbo are you running?
Jose from forced inductions 485 it’s a 85 compressor wheel with a 100 exducer wheel

since I’m waiting on the intercooler still my buddy was pretty hung up. Went ahead and decided to put a motor plate in the car. Went on race craft and ordered it. Upon first putting it on I realized indeed need new headers so a buddy of mine was kind enough to give me his old set of flowtechs.

Bought myself a new welder from another buddy who was upgrading so I can finally practice more on tig welding and now do some aluminum tig. I am by no means a master but gotta start somewhere right

had to get some reducers for the flowtechs because of the 3” collector. Went to monkey fab and ordered a set of reducing v bands from 3” to 2.5”.

Also went on CSR website and ordered a new electric water pump after having a belt sling off and overheat the car I was done with that.
