Nice... Glad you got it all put together. You are now obligated to post some track #s within the next week

(j/k). You gonna clean the engine bay up a little? What kinda intake is that there?

Kid_Roush · 12-01-2003, 12:54 PM

That's Money!

DemonGT · 12-01-2003, 01:32 PM

CLEAN THE ENGINE BAY...LOL i did!!....you should of seen it before...i took a presure washer to it and it helped..but i found that the paint in the engine bay is really faded...most likely from heat...and the only way to really make it look good is to have it repainted...which means taken the engine out..which i am NOT doing haha

the intake is a edelbrock victor 5.8 intake

Kid..damn right it is..and alot of work also

here is what it looked like when i pulled it into the garage

Fox Body · 12-01-2003, 03:25 PM

Noooo. LOL, I didn't mean "clean" as if it were dirty, I meant like tidy it up like hide and reroute wires (I was kinda looking at the winshield wiper motor area where the vacuum lines are). But, in the other pic the bay actually does look pretty organized. I'll shut up now.

It does look great, man.

Stang_Crazy · 12-01-2003, 04:16 PM

Looks good

Looks sweet!

DemonGT · 12-02-2003, 08:54 AM

Hiding the wires isn't the brutally painful job it's cracked up to be. It takes some time, yes....but IMO, the results are worth it. Expecially if you weld all the holes, then fill any uneveness, then shoot some fresh paint on....but just doing the wires isn't too hard of a job.

You could always start with the passenger side. If you get frustrated doing that side, don't even attempt the drivers side.

Fox Body · 12-02-2003, 05:01 PM

Hmmmm. Happy about putting it away for the winter?? What a weird thought.

Never thought of such a thing b4

. Yeah, it's always great to take a break though-- keeps the sport fresh.

You deserve a break.

DemonGT · 12-03-2003, 07:53 AM

i started building the motor in ...march i think..and iv been worken on the new motor and geting it installed ect. ever since...just got it running about a month ago...it ran and drove fine for about two weeks then the starter went out and iv been messing with this and that ever since...put a new starter in and then it wouldnt start..?? reset to TDC and rotor to #1 and it fired right up? but then it wouldnt idle..and i was in the process of figureing that out and the starter craped out...so the car was driveable for two weeks and im already on my third starter

even after i got it running and driveable i didnt even drive it much...just really didnt want much to do with it after all the time i spent on it....definitly need a break...but ill be diving right back into it come spring

P.S. never did find out why it wouldnt idle

Exactly!

I can do the pass. side in about an hour and the drivers side in about 2. It is very easy to do. Looks tons better. Here's a little pic to motivate you.

DemonGT · 12-04-2003, 08:59 AM

very nice...but im still not motivated

bri32zz · 12-04-2003, 12:07 PM

WOW!!!! That looks real nice!

DemonGT · 12-04-2003, 02:05 PM

thanks..your car looks very impressive bri32zz

That looks good but what about the firewall junk?

Do you have any plans to fill the holes?

Bad89stang · 12-04-2003, 08:09 PM

I will hide the firewall stuff when the motor comes out. The holes will be filled then. I have already done about ten holes already.

420nitro · 12-04-2003, 10:38 PM

Someone mentioned before, hiding your wires in the fender takes some time and effort, but I believe it's well worth it! Here is a pic. of my car, let me know what you guys think.
Thanks

Stang_Crazy · 12-04-2003, 10:49 PM

Very nice 420 . Those are the results I'm hoping for when I'm all done with mine. After you grinded the welds smooth, what kind of filler did you use to even everything out? Did you even use filler?

The filler is called (All Metal) sold by any auto body supply store. The stuff works great. In 80 degree weather, the stuff sets up in 20 mins. If you wait about an hour, you will need a die grinder to get it smooth! So best bet is to wait about the 20 mins. and hit with 180 grit sand paper on a d/a sander. Take your time when you do it and it will come out great.
