Corzette Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 A work in progress..... http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=18618254&uid=533777&members=1 Complete so far: 1. POR15 to the cowl underside and rainpan. 2. Replaced rubber seals front and back on cowl 3. Replaced wiper boots, rainpan left and right rubber seals 4. upgraded coil to MSD Blaster II 5. Installed Arizona Z 4 barrel intake 6. Installed Holley 390 carb (removed choke..hated it) 7. New shifter boot from MSA 8. 14 inch 6J Watanabe rims 21 offset front 16 offset back. 9. Installed front lip spolier 10. Rear shocks KYB (http://www.victory50.com'>http://www.victory50.com) Parts onhand to install: 1. Holley Red pump upgrade 2. Mallory Unilite electronic distributor 3. Dejet Holley 390 primaries to 47 vice 51 (2000cc engine requires less gas obviously) 4. PCV valve mod 5. Holley carb spring bracket Parts to order soon: 1. MSD 6A control unit (cant wait to replace ballast resistor system) Parts to order in a couple of months: 1. 48mm steel header (http://www.victory50.com'>http://www.victory50.com) 2. Complete exhaust from header back steel GC10 dual pipes (http://www.victory50 .com) 3. Phantom gauges MSA (tach def first for the MSD benefit) and clock since it will be an easy install....hehe. Parts I will get before leaving here: 1. New rotors/calipers for front and rear 2. Roll cage GTR 3. Front adjustable struts (KYB) 4. R200 5. Windshield rubber seal 6. Rear window rubber seal 7. All four door seals and body frame seals 8. Trunk seals 9. GTR over fenders 10. Contemplating having rear fender cut out to accomodate the GTR over fenders so I can run a bigger rim. Sorta like the original style but tires are too skinny to hold any power I may add in the future. LS1 would be nice but would never be practicle with 185 rear tires...maybe 195s at best.....someone tell me Im wrong so I can get excited.... Next big project: 1. Floor pan repair via POR15 kit 2. Add new sound deadener 3. Add black carpet and new floor mats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corzette Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 Well I applied POR15 to the left side of the engine bay today to what I could reach. Man what a difference, I love that stuff. Just dont get it on your hands...takes a week to come off! Ill post before and after tomorrow! What I did was used a putty knife to go over the inside engine bay left fender side to get rid of any burrs, old paint etc. I then sanded by hand with 400 grit to smooth out the surface a bit. I then cleaned with denatured alchohol to get all the dirt off etc. I then applied a nice coat of silver POR15 to the metal. I had to stand around and brush it every 5 minutes or so so it wouldnt have any runs to it. After about 2 hours or so it got tacky/sticky and I applied my Toyota metalic silver spray paint onto it while still uncurred. This covered up any uneven streaks and soaked right into the POR nicely. Once it curred (about 3 to 5 hours) it was rock solid and looks great. Notice the before and after. I will have many of these sessions to get everything but itll keep me busy when I run out of parts to install...hehe. I will remove a fender at a time to do the underside areas etc once the bay is done (that could be awhile). After that Ill do the floor pans, gotta secure that damn water leak first.. I have water coming into the floor pans so I fixed the driver side. Found out it was the seam sealer that failed or got too old to do its job. Surprisingly there is no rust thrus anywhere in the rain pan. So I used GOOP to seal her back up. Ill know tomorrow if it worked or not. That stuff is pretty solid as well when curred. Thats all for today. The hobby shop is closed till Wed for New Years so no more work until after the holidays...booooooo. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
