BIG UPDATE:
So I haven't posted in a while but there is a lot of things that have happened since last post!
Frame got powder coated:
I absolutely love the color, it actually looks that saturated in real life as well!
Once the frame was coated we couldn't do much because we were still waiting on the aluminum panels to be done but just yesterday those were completed. I spent today installing them and running the main coolant hoses through the frame! The aluminum panels werent too hard besides having the manually rivet which sucked but I got through it. Pulling the hose was an ordeal. The first hose I pulled snapped the actual hose so I had to yank it back out and re-attach it. The second hose stayed together but there was a lot more friction and the rope I was using snapped and almost hit my face, luckily I had thought about that and put my hand up and it hit my hand instead. It didn't hurt that bad but if it had hit my eye that would have been a bigger deal.
Some pictures of the things done today:
We got a little excited to start working and prematurely installed the power steering unit.
Everything is looking good so far and next is the steering rack which I will try to do tonight.
On another note my wiring harness is still being rewired at DF and I have been trying to get an update on it. I emailed them 4 times over the past week with no response. I will try calling tomorrow.
Painted the donor parts:
I liked what Robinjo was doing in terms of tracking the days and hours of his build so I thought I would just post my hours in bold. So far
5 Hours of work have been done.
