Wheatley's 6262 build
#107
I want a bigger one!! But the zoning department wouldn't let me. We are planning on moving in the next 5-7 years, I plan on at least twice the size. Either that or we will stay here and Ill pay for private school lol.
I had the exact same attitude 10 years ago building other cars and had the same thought cross my mind when I pulled my hid housing headlights apart to black them out. In the end its only money and if you **** it up you'll know what NOT to do next time.

As for the little things, hopefully they just aren't noticeable since most of the harness is hidden and It wont bother me too much.

Thanks guys!
Had a pretty busy weekend planned but wanted to get some things on the car.
This was the start of a long weekend of wrenching.
I broke 3 or the 6 sway bar bolts off in the rear crossmember. I drilled and tapped the holes and replaced them all with 1/2 20 stainless hardware and got everything buttoned up except the DS loop.
New rear pads, rotors, extended studs and sway bar complete other than getting new endlinks.
New ams/wilwood brake kit behind the 18" street setup. Looks a little goofy but oh well.

lol yea it was an exciting weekend....I really wish there was a way to imply sarcasm on the internet!!
Anyways, the rods are now back in my possession and the turbo came in last week as well.
2nd from the left
I'm going to try and get the valve seals done this week and finish all of the little odds and ends. My rear end shipped out today so hopefully next week I can get that back in. Depending on time I should have the engine together and back in the car within three weeks.
