installed the clutch line and bled it, installed the heater core hoses, had to switch the control valve to the 3rd gen one, the alltrac one was damaged.
installed the shifter cable clips, just waiting on the bushings from CRW to complete that.
finished the screamer pipe, and sliced and diced an old downpipe i had for the 3" flange so i can start welding up the b-pipe tommorow.
the hood latch hold downs came in, as well as the BOV flange, tommorow more couplers for the intercooler, solid crossmember bushings from speed source, and fittings and line for the water lines for the turbo should all arrive... should be a buzy day tommorow!
pics then!!

and the aerocatch hood latches.

these things are really cool, they come in 2 versions, a top mount version that sits about 1/8" of an inch above the surface, that use screws and nuts to hold them on, or a bottom mount style that goes in from the bottom and mounts flush with a nice flat surface, that use adheasive to mount them.

i wasnt sure about the flush mount style, and knew the top mount ones work on an alltrac (pat c has them on his 200+MPH alltrac with the same hood jim will be using) so thats what we ordered for him.

packaging:

the latch (open) and pin (hardware is included as well, just not pictured)

the pin in place:

latched:

these things are quite a bit more than your average hood pins...but man, they are definetly 100000x cleaner, and more secure. they even come in locking versions!

more pics of those when i go to install them...that should be an interesting process!

Odd because he bought a clip and it would have made sense to throw the torsen diff in the trac, fingers crossed trying to work on a deal with Jim to get the rhd stuff plus awd conversion

got more work done on the car yesterday, finished up the intercooler piping, and made the b-pipe.

i also made myself a pipe beader, out of a pair of vice grips, a 3" exhuast clamp, and a washer.
(how to is here: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=76924 )
pics of that and the IC piping.

how it gets used:

the results:

the pipes welded, and then grinded down and beaded

It's about there now tho.

soo, not too much happening the past couple days, finished up the bpipe, just waiting on some parts to arrive, gonna go out in a while and clean up the welds on the b-pipe, paint it, and install it, and put the finishing touches on the IC piping before it gets sent for coating.

one cool thing that did happen is my cousin took jims wheels over to the local vo-tech school, and they are going to dismount the tires, clean up the bead seats on the wheels, install new valve stems, remount and balance them, all for free. gotta love that.
the bead seats are a bit rusty from the car sitting for so long, so the tires, even though they are like new, dont wanna hold air, the above should fix it right up!
