I've learned this lesson more times than I care to admit.
Loving the progress, car is looking good even with the wonky ride heights

Yep, it's just so funny to see how many parts come through the stable that have been totally hacked. The hacked coils this time around were on a DE car nonetheless
Prepped hoopte #5's original housings to get welded for the front coilover conversion! Came apart like buttah. I love working on cars that haven't been showered in brine all of their life.

Gettin' hoopte #4's new M42 together! Prepped a bunch of small stuff, mapped out all of my new hoses for the "mess under intake" simplification, etc. The new M42 had some head work done recently and also has a coil on plug conversion. I hate to admit this because #m20life but I feel like an M42 stroker would be a really neat motor with how light these things are. There is just so much room for activities, and the weight difference between m20 and m42 is more noticeable than I thought. The more I work on this car, the more it seems like it doesn't have many miles. Lots of small things are very clean/pliable/etc that I didn't notice initially. I didn't get a cluster with the car, so it's TMU, but it shows better than all of the 100-150k mile cars I've had.
