My S body

lol, u know me to well tesh

Less hassle as well dude, instead of spending time making sure you interior is all nice ect you can focus on the more important things.

Now you got welder you just need a mandrel bender and you can start doing all your own custom pipes.

stripped - fresh paint - fixed buckets - eventually cage
everytime you get up in that bitch you know it means bidness

Kinda how i like my women

Haha

Update from yesterday (its the mrs birthday today so obviously i cant do do shit i want to, haha)

I was a bit jubious about taking the dash out and breaking clips etc but i completely dominated it and made it my bitch:



Was quite releived when i started to get my head round all the wiring after taking the dash out, i suppose taking eg's apart so many times has tought me the basics of whats what and where shit tends to wire up:



got the old loom unhooked at the bonnet end, just 3 more plugs inside but i had to call it a night (@ 5 past 11!)



Iv decided to take the plunge and take the engine out, now i have a welder nearly anything is possible, im going to be making a custom loom, with aftermarket fusebox to fit under the dash, just gunna weld some brackets to the dash bar to mount it too, gunna tub the arches, stitch weld and respray the bay.

wish me luck

Super Awesome Dude, Looking Forward To Seeing What The Bay Ends Up Looking Like, Maybe At JAE?

Im aiming to be done (ish) for JAE

Should look bad when all done

What colour bay you going for? something mad or subtle?

I havnt got a clue yet man

OMG, seriously good luck dude, I know you are more than capable of doing it just make the most of spare time, dry days/nights ect.

As for now, Just leave the inside as it is dude, just do your bay, loom ect ect inside is like a 1 hour job anywhoooo

fark it, Fix it and skid it. You know you want to

Got a bit more done today before it randomly monsooned (hopefully i can get some more done before the day is up)

radiator out, next up is the A/C is coming out.

Also upon further inspection the engine loom is burnt out
So it is now definately a case of engine out, i suppose though this gives me an ideal opportunity to change the clutch and get this loom sorted out, i can also weld up the unwanted holes in the bulkhead, make ones i need AND get the whole bay seam welded up nicely before spraying. Also thinking about having a milspec connector on the firewall for the loom

More updates by the end of the day, going back out once my dinner has gone down

edit: also i can change the engine mounts for the super pimp spec ones, which means i can also sit the engine a little higher up for more clearance:

Moaaaar lows??? Yeaahhhh

hockey pucks? shit will be ARDER then ARD!

How come you took the dash out man?

as of last night:



gunna go carry on now, il post more up later tonight

ha... you put it on the stand !!

Ye man, got it on the stand last night before i packed up.

Thanks again for the help ben, tell kevin there is a bucket and sponge with his name on.

Today i pulled out the dash bar and A/C unit, using my old loom i started mocking up how the loom/fusebox will sit.

the wiring is seriously complicated, iv had to come in for a rest, my head is hurting

I need to order wires/MIL spec connector/fuse/relay box and apropriate tools (for de/re pinning plugs)

Is it jus the pic or is that block high as table top, big lump lol

its on the stand by the looks of it

Lol, its on the stand

there not that big, sr20 weighs 149kg

This is going to be mint when completed!

I'm thinking of doing the same with the EG when it gives up the ghost.

Oh just had closer look, i thought for
Min then it looked huge :s, seriously thoe fair play dude i cannot beleive you finally ripped the S Body apart may aswell build your engine
Now its out 400-500bhp hows that sound? Would
Be a waste not too while its out man?

I know what your saying but thats not why i got it out, and tbh it has more than enough power for me atm, plus i do want to get it semi done for jae.

As of today the engine bay is completely bare, brake lines, master cylinders, heater matrix etc etc all out, i should take more pictures i know but when im working on it i cant stop to take pics lol.

soon as i get paid im going to a bodyshop suppliers with jay webb to get the materials to paint the bay and ordering these for the tubs:



Then i just have to get hold of some 2mm sheet metal to fab the rest up.

I had a break from the loom today, electrics stresses me out, lol
