Why wait for a seat. I sat in mine before I did anything and made engine noises lol

That pic does make it look small! Don’t worry about derailing. The more people post the more good ideas I have.
I’m definitely bolting a seat in and making vroom vroom noises. Anyone who says they didn’t is a big fat liar!
No need to sit in it to do that. All I have to do is look at your build log and the ideas start turning.

Seats? You don’t need no stinking seats to make vroom vrooms.......

Thanks Sasquatch. I assume anything could be possible. Just did not know how tough, or if it would be worthwhile. My son and I recently finished a J32 Acura engine swap into his Mazda Miata. The intake was custom to clear the hood. It was a radical departure from the original which was...

If you never hear from me again it’s because my wife killed me for buying more Goblin parts. Here’s the list I can think of I still need:
Steering/Suspension
Inner and outer tie rods
Rear moog control arm bearings
NRG short hub or coiled wire so I can make the horn button on the wheel work
Body
Grill Material
Rear wing
Electrical
JW Speaker model 97 headlights
Third brake light
Tach signal Convertor
Stereo
I have some small amps laying around. Need to order everything else.
Engine
Fluids
Serp belt
Decide on using the LSJ acc drive or making an idler to delete the AC
Vibrant coolant hose
Pipe, tips, and a muffler to make a stainless exhaust
2 nice coolant expansion tanks
Spray paint
Interior
Dash lights for high beam, L&R turn, Check engine, and low oil pressure
Switches for cruise control and hazards
Shift knob and boot
Sheet metal for the dash
Anything not on my list you guys think I still need?

Your video is what made me keep the LSJ setup as an option. It does look easy to tear apart, but I think I’m going the other way.
I don’t have the full LSJ setup. Just the tensioner and idler. Im missing the alternator and balancer. The tensioner I have really needs replaced to be able to use it.
I do have an idler pulley in my garage that should work. All I would need to do is make a bracket. Seems like a lot of money to save going that route and ditch the AC compressor as a bonus.

Well I’ve been dreading getting rid of the donor and the pile of junk in my driveway, so I put an ad on Facebook for a free cobalt shell.
I got a response within ten minutes and a guy showed up in an hour. Not only did he bring a helper but also a trailer with a winch. All I had to do was back my trailer up to his.
It was hard for me not to laugh when I asked him what he was going to do with it when his response was “take some parts off it”

Spent a ton of time cleaning my power train. Took me two bottles of super clean, two cans of engine degreaser, three rounds with the pressure washer, and countless hours of scrubbing but now it’s clean.
Still looks terrible, but it’s clean. Now I get to wire wheel off a decade of oxidation and it’s ready for paint.
My kit is supposed to be at the freight terminal on Thursday to pickup. Can’t wait for that phone call!
