Super excited to see you jumping back in, even with your nose pinched closed and water wings on. (<--- referring to the hesitation and worry, not smack talking, lol)
Your car was one of my favorites back in 02-03 when I fell into the J-body scene, and it motivated me a lot. Unfortunately my first cavy met a deer and rolled to its death, and my second cavy fell on a dodge Ram's rear end shaped sword last year, and its now a pile of rubble. Ever since then I've been MIA here, too painful.
Then I come back to see the rebirth thread you got going on here, so for now I'm more than happy to live vicariously through your rebuild! Keep it up bud, I'm rooting for ya!
First off, the field of dead hookers was supposed to be between you and I.
Jeffie, my car is getting scrapped as soon as demo comes and gets your @!#$ out of it. I'm tired of looking at it in my back yard...
Chris..... get back to work on the front patio, aint nobody got time for cars! Get a prius and be happy with your mileage..... HAHAHAHAHA! Ok, I couldn't say that with a straight face. The progress looks great, keep it up bro. I didn't realize you had actually ordered the AEM unit. I look forward to these updates!

Also if your worried about the spatter pick up some of this
anti spatter spray This is the exact stuff I use all day at work but any anti spatter spray will help out. Keep up the good work.

Spatter can be kept under control with the correct settings on the welder. I never use anti-spatter anymore, as it contaminates the weld. In a high heat application like a turbo system, I'd want as clean a weld as I can get to prevent cracking down the road. That's just a personal opinion though, obviously you're welcome to use any method you're comfortable with.
Nice work ,though I must admit I'm more of an l61 fan ,but sure is inspiring !

Love the polished a/c parts....
Cant decide to polish mine or paint it.....
Chris, I'm free 2 weekends from now to help out. We will figure something out for then if possible.
polishing looks amazing. Cant wait to see the rest of it. I think you need to take the paint off the car and polish the raw panels too
nobody has done that before either
Great to see the old girl coming back to life!
chris, what bushing did you use on your nvg front mount to laythe down? i just did my ttr bushing and it sucked balls. i would have much rather used my mark pain bushings as they are quite a bit more stiff to be honest. i dont know that a prothane would work either as its got those holes in the center... if i had to do it again i would literally just use aluminum.
M45/OS crank/2.4 snout. It's nice to be injected but I love being blown!
you have too many projects on the go
Nice brake job.

Guilty as charged, I love doing engine jobs, but in this case, it made sense to do it. We need to reseal the engine and inspect the bottom end. It's also A LOT easier to get rid of the old mess of wires and run all the new wires with the engine out.
Darren, I'd like to take a moment to thank you, for kicking Chris in the ass....... *echm*..... Thank You.
Are those Moda rims??? I had those same ones on my cavfire lol
