Something showed up at my house for Collins car today


Decided to get the metal lower intake gaskets.

And a few of the car. A mere shadow of its former and future self.

Sweet. Now he just needs some IF sides and the rear lip to match up with it.

Swap is coming along good. Only concern is I hope that engine bay is getting cleaned up while it's empty. No better time to do it.

They actually never made a rear lip for the Z bumper, only the base. In that case, you need the IF rear or an 03+ LS Sport rear and IF sides.

what is IF what would these look like

Colin Steele wrote:what is IF what would these look like

Import Fighter sides. The ones I have on my car.

Colin Steele wrote:what is IF what would these look like

They would look sexy...especially with that lip.

OH "if" i got it yeah those are nice but im not sure, i will have to look into it i dont think i have any more money to paint lol

So here is what went on today.
Car getting ready to be beautified.

Found this really funny. Car was parked in my driveway with no front end and it still got a flyer on the window.

Battery tray.

No battery tray.

The poor old 2200.

All taped off.

Flat black engine bay done.





I then got to work on the engine.
This is what it looked like when I started.

This is the front cover on it, its from a 3.1 since this engine used to be in a 2nd gen.

This nub needs to be ground down to fit the engine mount bracket.

This is after it got ground off.

Engine side mount bracket on the engine.

Metal lower intake gaskets installed.

Lower intake painted and reinstalled.

Fidanza aluminum flywheel installed.

Spec stage 2 clutch.


Thats all for today. I will be doing alot of work this week on the engine and the car.
