I was able to get everything pulled off the car. Seals, body panels, motor, trans and everything. Why am I doing this you ask, well I made the decision to paint the car, so it will be parked for... a while.....
Got the 'new' doors on and turns out B3 and B4 doors are identical, except for the moldings, which I will not be running anyway.
I'm super pumped on that because these doors are CLEAN. I have a decent amount of rust to take care of on the fenders and trunk, so any panel that won't need extensive work is much appreciated. Thankfully the car itself is very rust free. Here's one fender:
I also have some crazy ideas brewing, picked these guys up:
Also cleaned up the engine harness a bit by removing the O2 sensors and a few other things I will never use. Just makes everything cleaner in the bay. Speaking of which I have been doing some welding in there. Last year I didn't want to close up any holes that I thought I might use in the future, turns out I only need a couple so I can clean up that firewall even more. Still have to weld up the spot with the X on it.
And lastly, my old turbo needed a rebuild so I sent it out to Comp, had it completely rebuilt and sold it with 0 miles on it. I picked up a 35R that is pretty hurt to upgrade to an HTA86.
Should spool faster than my old turbo and make significantly more power if I want to push it. For example, stock head evo, 2.0 bottom end, on corn.
Granted he had some big cams and evo heads even stock with greatly outflow my port matched AEB, but I don't expect make that kind of power. I do expect to spool slightly faster because of my cams, which translates to tranmission shattering torque. So, thats why I just picked up a built 01E my friend Mike built a few years ago.
Thats about it for now, but I hope to make some good progress this weekend, so I'll try to keep the updates coming, mainly for my own motivation.
