Made some more progress on the car the last couple of days.
Got the upper and lower torque box reinforcements put in as well as the anti rollbar.
Wiring is still not 100% complete. Long story short I paid a buddy to wire everything front to back, almost 5 months later its still not done so I brought the car home and will try and tackle it my self.
5 Lug swap/brakes are done, just need to bleed them.
Ordered a 2.5bar map sensor, should be enough for now. Trans cooler is suppose to be showing up tomorrow so Ill figure out where Im gunna mount it and run the lines.
Also waiting for my bump steer kit to come in, once thats here Ill get it aligned then hopefully get this thing on the road.

Got the car back today, Long story short the guy that wired it up the first time did a hack job. Nothing worked correctly and a bunch of stuff wasnt finished but now all my wiring issues are fixed and everything works the way it should.
I ordered all the fittings Im gunna need for -3AN line on my brakes so all I have to do is measure lengths of line im gunna need and get those made.
Got the tranny cooler mounted and lines made, just need to drop the pan and get the temp sensor bung welded in.
I think Im starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Beautiful job so far man ! I am currently working on a 91 with an all motor setup. Was the sheetmetal in the hatch area pre made or did you fab it all yourself ?

Well I finally got to drive the car tonight.
It needs a tune BAD, smokes like a diesel under normal load and breaks up alot.
Fuel Pressure is at 24lbs and it idles at 10.X. Still got some things to take care of before I can get it tuned but Im glad I finally got to drive this damn thing. A year and half is long enough.
