Progress Update - Wife's 86GT Project Build

93WHITELXCOUPE · 07-22-2007, 07:35 PM

Here are some progress pics of my wife's 86GT build. We took the hood off today and started taking out all of the misc. wiring that she is not going to need, in order to clean up the engine bay.

Before we took the hood off.

Here's some progress pics.

All of wiring harness and excess stuff not needed removed.

Now here are the updated pics from today's progress. After a little more wire wheeling and brushing and the final blow down, decided to spray some primer before I spray the black.

Not going to be perfect, but you are right it will look a thousand times better. This is just a quick budget build.

No. We didn't want a T-Top car, since she will be racing it.

Here are some updates to how my wife's project car is going. Finally started to spray the black on. Still have to go back and get some spots that I missed along with put a 2nd coat on. My fucking fingers got tired and sore. Here are some pics.

93WHITELXCOUPE · 11-14-2007, 01:35 PM

Well finally decided to help the wife and complete the final assembly of her engine. Here are the pics of the finished product. Now all we have to do is stab it into the engine bay sometime this week.
