She got her mirrors today thanks to shhh Put ll the floor mats in and did a bunch of detailing and prep work for paint. The engine bay was a disaster zone with oil everywhere
Wheels will be here this week and she'll be back on her lown feet in no time... The Tilton Twin Carbon clutch has been rebuilt and has been shipped. The car still needs to be cleaned inside and out, but the countdown is on...

As for now the set up will be identical but I'm just turning the boost down. I have decided to keep running E85. I would never use anything but a BR 2.0 or 2.1. I am sticking with a 2.0 aluminum rod motor. Clutch is still a Tilton Carbon refurbished and Shep is cleaning up my ultimate ratio trans and transfer case. I am installing a BR exhaust and adding a filter to the BR/Shearer Forward Facing turbo kit. I also will be adding a 15 gallon fuel cell.

I finished most of the wiring last night. Car looks soooo good. New wheels and tires will be here next week. I've got some nice pieces coming the next few days. Roller will be done in a few days and just waiting on drivetrain parts to return. I cant wait....

What a great day. I spent the whole day painting and wiring Lana up for the street. I found the wires in the harness for the headlights but for some reason they aren't getting power. After about 2 hours of pulling the dash apart I decided to just make my own harness for the one side and run it off the other side which was getting power. Turn signal is getting its power from the side marker turn signal. I wanted so badly to use the existing wires, but so many people have touched this car its hard to figure out what went where. Although it was a long day, its what I enjoy doing. Other than the wheels and a few little details, Lana is ready for drivetrain Here are the updated pics. I even got the door chime to work

Thanks guys. I just want to have some fun with the car. Just going to the track is getting boring.
I'm using reguler white can spray paint and clear spray. I could've taken it to my buddies spray booth and done it with a gun but for such a small area I didnt think it was worth it.
