Her beauty is only skin deep I'm afraid Ugliness is lurking deep inside.

^^^HaHaHa...Do you even fit in there with the top up?

-In for the forensic restoration!
Timeframe for turnkey?

you have a sweet spyder. very clean.

I still can’t believe how clean that engine is.

Jim, are you going to replace the oil cooler and flush the turbos or do you have plans to upgrade the turbos? Sorry if that’s been asked before.

Yea that thing is clean. What really happened was your motor just got mad because you slung that gravel up on it and decided to show you what for!

I swear I am only 5' 10". The perspective in that shot makes me look giant. The guy that took the shot is alot shorter than me and he was standing out on the driving that slopes downward.

Can't guess a timeframe yet. Depends on how deep I go into restorations.

Thanks!

I guess this depends on what I find. If I spun a bearing does that mean the oil cooler is toast because it could be full of shavings? Turbos seem to have a small amount of shaft play although the seals are still good. I figure I may as well add power since I'm this deep into it. I want DD reliability and no fuss emissions testing. I'm due for smog check this year and will have to non-op the car when the license comes due because I can't smog it. As soon as it runs I'll have to smog it.

Haha, you might be right. On the other hand maybe she's spirited and she's bucking for a big increase in horse power

Yes, I'd replace it. Some people flush them but with the money you put into a build it's crazy not to get one form Maximal or GZP. Better coolers anyway.

Removing the fenders for an engine swap, thats a new one haha.
