Sneak peak of the Cutlass Build Updated Oct 18/07

[bake82]

I've been working a lot on this lately.  Here are some pictures :biggrin:

Here is how it sat before I started work



Suspension work all done and new wheel/tire combo (you can Invasion1's old Cutlass in the background!

Lowered intrax in front, birchmount in the back.



Old 2.8/Auto coming out the top.



And how it pretty much sits right now.  I've cleaned it up and got the exhaust mounted up(2.5 mandrel bent stainless Magnaflows) and working on re-runing fuel lines.



Anyways just an update on my 3.1 Turbo/5spd cutlass build up!!

BUMP! 

Some more pics...Unfortunetly I haven't taken too many pics of my progress, i've been more concerned about getting the car running, than pictures.  The motor is in, and ALMOST ready to run.

I need to bleed clutch hydraulic system, install axles, throttle body and charge pipe, finish mounting the coolant overflow, dogbones, fill up the fluids/bleed brakes/coolant.  Install the seats and tidy up the interior a little bit, then it's ready to go! 

I have everything I need, except the throttle body gasket, which I'll get on Friday hopefully.  Looks like I'm aiming for a Saturday start up, and shake down a little bit.  Once that happens, It's going for an alignment on Tuesday and it's ready to drive!!

i'm very very very excited as I've been waiting for this day for a LONG LONG FUCKING time....anyways here are a few pics of where I'm at now..

I still feel bad for Dave. He put a shit ton of work into that car and then poof, gone...

Damn that looks good...but does anyone else see a pattern here???? Let me point it out.

1) we are both named Kyle.
2) we both love TGP's, and either own or previously have owned one.
3) our plenum and valve covers are powder coated the same color scheme
4) same MSD super conductor wires
5) our turbos are even coated with the same coating....

I can go on, but the similarities are eerie lol.

Nice job!
