Thanks, I am a big fan of it as well. Should look even better, when I get her all polished up and powercoated gunmetal.

Yea, I really enjoyed how CLEAN my engine bay looked before, and I was having a hard time deciding how to still have the clean look with the new turbo setup... Also, I wanted to do something a little different that all the other builds you see on here. So, I decided to revamp everything in front of the strut towers, I think it'll turn out pretty cool.

How about Daily driven race car?

Im curious as to how the hood will fit, since you cut the hood alignment/adjusters out

PUNISHER TA

The little corner pieces? I have a lot bigger things to worry about. Like a hood latch system.... Or the fact that I have zero mounting for my bumper right now...

It'll all work itself out once I start fabbing.

I hope so. How about the headlight mounting?

Id refab the support beam for the headlight then run two/four smaller supports to the wheel wells/frame/where ever applicable. Id also get the front bumper support from MWC as well.

Oh, and pray you never have a front side collision

I think you might have cut a bit to much. Check this picture

No, he didn't. He's probably going to cap the front frame rails and run moly tubing to a new tubular core support. It will turn out fine, assuming he has some fab skills.

You will have to just wait and see what I have planned.

Are you assuming I thought I was done and the car is ready to drive?

Im definitely not the kind of person who would buy something I can make myself... Also, this build will be unlike any other build and will not work with any "Shelf part"

I have no idea what you are showing here.

Yes. exactly.

Thank you.

I've done the same thing before on a fox. While tedious, it certainly frees up a lot of extra space and just looks better. Are you going to mount everything with dzus fasteners?

Great build!!!!!!

Keep the pics coming, your really helping me plan my build.

Thanks!

I wasnt saying that you didnt know what you were doing, im just tryig to figure out what youre planning here

I am trying to keep dzus off of this, since its my daily. Dzus seem too racecar, by MY definition


Thank you! Im having a lot of fun, I cannot wait to have my turbo, so I can start fabbing.

No worries, I wasn't sure what you were getting at. I have a lot of ideas, most are half ideas, or end visions... We will see what comes to fruition, when I get started.

I will not be running stock headlights.


I am not sure what you think I cut off that will be necessary.


Thanks for the interest guys.

I went back to wiring, and am getting pretty close.

I have a doctors apt in the morning and am taking the whole day off work, so i might be able to get pretty much finished.

Anyway, the current shop layout.
