Had issues with the radiator. Ordered a new one but received the incorrect one from Summit. Should get the correct replacement sometime this week. Progress is slow because i moved and have other projects distracting me. Riding around in Bucks County seeing all these cool cars have motivated me to get on this though.

I want to see this thing done!

Says the guy with unfinished projects!

It's so true! And then when I finally do finish them I sell them. Me and empera are soul sistas

empera · 06-11-2014, 07:55 AM

haha, yea....it sucks when i have so much going on.

Always checking up on your builds as well....i think i see more progress there than here.

empera · 06-12-2014, 09:49 AM

Rad is in, looks good and def. fits right.

Looks like i'll hafta switch over to a water to air intercooler but i'll see....

empera · 06-17-2014, 09:46 AM

Finally got a chance to work on it.

Got the car to idle pretty well and actually stay a constant temperature.

With no Tstat this is where it stood for over 20 minutes. Definitely made me happy.

Please excuse the messiness and dirtiness of the car. This will all be taken care of as soon as I can.

empera · 07-02-2014, 08:22 AM

Slowly but surely!

Next up is Exhaust.

empera · 07-09-2014, 01:33 PM

Got my GPS Driven speedometer in the mail...good way to spend 350 bucks! but another thing off the list.

Received some exhaust piping and tbolt flanges to finish up the exhaust.

empera · 07-21-2014, 10:26 AM

Finished the exhaust but had to take it off to get the car on the lift.

We mocked up the driveshaft and installed it. Worked out pretty well....its now at the machine shop getting done. Here's a preview.

empera · 07-31-2014, 11:35 AM

Wait....what??

**Got Insulin?** · 08-04-2014, 02:05 PM

Looks like no shortage of cool stuff going in that garage! Looks and sounds great! Quality of work from that machine shop looks great. I knew they were back there but didn't know anyone that had used them. Good reviews from whoever recommended you?

empera · 08-04-2014, 02:35 PM

Yea i've used them before and decided to see if they could do it...so i said go ahead lol...yea we have a few cool projects at the shop...besides the roadster.

Here are a couple of pictures.

Looking into the braking system next then i can start putting it back together

blue91lx · 08-04-2014, 09:21 PM

Looking awesome dude! Keep it up. Still have the E30?

empera · 08-05-2014, 08:10 AM

e30 was sold, made a decent profit so i couldnt say no :-/ Sooner or later i will get another and possibly keep it this time lol

rocknrace03 · 08-05-2014, 05:39 PM

very cool. that z is pretty awesome as well

empera · 08-07-2014, 02:08 PM

That Z is also for sale btw lol

Working on getting all the necessary brake parts. Have other projects in the works so this may affect it

empera · 08-19-2014, 11:32 AM
