Thanks guys. The trim piece on the headlight is missing...misplaced it when I moved. Need to find it and replace it. Also, need to find a new carbon fiber trim piece above the bumper cover...the replacement I bought on ebay broke during shipping.
I like the wheels but I'm thinking about getting a little bit taller tires all around to fill in the wheel wells...I don't like how low profile those tires are, especially on an 18" wheel.

I found it on ebay...I'm pretty sure it's the ssautochrome exhaust, I bought it from a different seller though. It was the only 3" exhaust I could get in short order. They are few and far between so I bought it as soon as I saw it listed.
There are a few different topic floating around the board right now about people building midpipes so there may be some available soon.

New parts came...dropped them off at the machine shop and the head is closer to being finished.
New Cams
New Gauges
I also ordered a 3sge intake manifold from what they told me was a 1987...either it wasnt or it was just a non T-vis one but they sent me the wrong manifold. I'm glad you can't ask these part salvage people any questions without them saying "Well, is it for a 3sge?" Yeah Idiot I'm not gonna try to explain to you the dynamics of interchangable parts within the same engine manufacturers...too complicated
Not that T-vis matters or that you know what it is...god. I may just stick with the stock 3sgte manifold...but then again I don't want to try to explain to the Tuner that there are lean cylinders that need to be compensated for...because I'm just an Idiot who can't tune his own engine...

Looking good bro, keep up the good work 
The engine is all back together, thanks to the help of Eric (speedricer) coming over last night to give me a hand. The trouple now is a starting issue (electrical) My starter isn't rolling over at all so I have to go get a multimeter and see what I can find out. Here are some picks of the engine back together.
^^ This little bastard gave me the fight of my life. never ever doing the upper timing belt in the engine bay ever again. F timing belt tensioners.
I'm gonna see what I can figure out with the starter, hopefully it's something little...heres hoping.

I want to be able to, I have to check my avaiability bc the army has me signed up for some bullshit two week training event...even though I'm not going to Afghanistan with the unit and I'm out in 7 months...awesome.Droptop93":25umhw20 said:
Thanks man. I put the battery to the starter and it popped out but didn't turn over. I'm thinking it has to be something between the battery to the neutral switch...all the fuses look fine. I'm gonna have to dig a little deeper.Landon":25umhw20 said:
In the meantime I'm wiring up all of my guages to their respective power sources and senders haha...funny thing...the sender for the oil pressure wont thread into the head...I love working on this car.

dude i got ya on the sender! what gauge do you have? i have a prosport oil pressure gauge and i ended up putting a T in so that i could run the oil pressure warning light and the sender. i had to re-thread to make part of it fit into the head. its a metric pipe thread if i remember right. thats what i did to make it work. if you want more info i can show you a pic and such. about the starter- it seems that if the solenoid pops out but the starter doesn't turn over with direct power it would be starter related...? but you know more about whats goin on so whatever. lol. good luck man.
