Primed the lip last week. A revised can of touch up came in the mail, as well as a can of 2k clear. Which, for those of you who don't know, is the best.

Painted and cleared. Curing time. Hopefully it matches right. Haven't checked yet. But so far so good.

So, I made an oil catch can for the pcv side. There are many different ways of doing this, and I think my way is okay. Let me know what you guys think.

It goes like this: Ports on mani to a one way check valve to sealed catch can to millenia pcv.

Seems pretty good.

Looking great like always! But you already knew that..

Every time I see pictures of your car, the same thought crosses my mind - I need to repaint mine :/

Thanks man, my paint although it looks good in pics, it needs a little help too.

Block and crank are officially at the machine shop. Going with the recommended .0035 piston to wall clearance.

Conveniently had a 24" 1/2" gas line to make my egr pipe out of. Picked up a roll of 5/8 heat wrap sleeve. Says it's good for 1100 constant and 2000 intermittent heat exposure. We'll see how it goes. It has a little stretch to it so it fits over the fittings, but stays nice and tight on the hose. Hopefully it will keep me from melting wires, and it looks a whole lot less ghetto.

It's a little scary. And it feels reckless and stupid the whole time. But it's alot of fun.

Also good job on the corrugated egr pipe covering.

Thanks man. That stuff wasn't cheap. But it's worth it. Still half price and easier to deal with than a 626 egr pipe.

Reached one of my long term goals without realizing it. Key height in the front! So happy!

Working on relocating my battery to the back. Bought a cheap group 24 marine box from napa. Got crafty, and made the top seal. Going to be vented to under the car. 25 ft of 0ga wire, 200a circuit breaker, and a distribution block should all be here tomorrow. Just need to pick up some terminals.
