very nice work!

 

Went up north to the lake for a little bit this morning with the fam. Got home and my son was ready for a nap so I had some time to do some welding.

These are the two pipes that go from the center muffler to the back of the car...all welded now.


Center section off the car ready to be welded up.


Welding sure is like meditation.....

 

This is one the best builds I have seen in a long time. Your attention to detail is just perfect. You are Very talented.

You said you went to Toronto, are you in Canada?

 

many thanks!

No, I am in Michigan. About 4.5 hours from Toronto.

 

wow, really great work on that exhaust.

 

FYI C6Z06 calipers suck for actual track use. At a minimum ditch the padletts and get a one-piece pad. If it's a street car then doesn't really matter.

 

Looking good.. Keep the updates coming..

 

looking great!

 

It is mostly a street car...might see the track once and awhile but not very often.


Center section all welded





Entire system put together and hangers added










Tips






Entire thing off the car...few joints to weld up


Remote clutch bleeder




Fuel pressure filter/regulator (still needs hose clamps)


Top ring on the shifter carrier is to hold the shifter lever in place.

 

Does the TR6060 have a fluid cooler?

 

yup, sure does

 

Wow I am really jealous of your exhaust fab skills

 

Looks sick..

Its my hope that once this swap is done and my Trans Am is out of my garage to start taking on a few customer jobs...

Hope i can have the same attention to detail!

 

thanks guys!

It's a big time heat wave here but I have a couple of AC units in the shop and it keeps it workable but temps still climb.

The list is getting shorter. Engine will be back in for the last time tomorrow...suspension will get finished up. Shooting to start it Tomorrow or Thursday (more likely)

Header on for the last time, subframe on loosely.


Clutch line off tr6060


Clutch connection from BMW hardline


Front right flare needs one more sanding and then some finishing filler before primer


Right rear flare really close as well.

 

ABS Pump in place...
etending the wires in progress


Done




Last time it will have an empty bay


Engine In





Front suspension all on


Brakes going on


Had to put a wheel/tire on just to see how they fill them




This is will full negative camber...won't run like this but wanted to see what it looked like.




Finish filler on the left front flare


Right rear flare just about ready too.

 

Drive line looks like it belongs in there.Perfect fit.

 

Looks fantastic.. Keep the updates coming..

 

thanks guys!

Was hoping to fire it today but with the temps at 95 and 85 in the shop it's hard to work very fast...either way still progress.







All the brakes/lines/etc are all hooked up. And more flare work.








Shifter in



Shifter linkage


Under car pictures...just because everyone likes pictures.




How the AC compressor came out...you can also see the trans cooler lines in there and the battery cable.

 

Not fired yet...waiting on intake pipe. The one I had was a bit too big to fit. It's ordered and in route...very very very soon!

Exhaust all bolted up, heat shield on, driveshaft in, etc


Suspension is all tightened up...
Set it down on the ground.


Front nose isn't tightened.


Will be wiring the LSx harness into the BMW x20 tomorrow and will power everything up to program the PCM.

 

I used a PSI harness on this one. Connecting everything to the BMW x20.

Reading the PCM




Trans cooler just showed up. It will go about here.
