Had my tuner come down to Montgomery today to get my car running around town, and ended up stranded up on the side of the road. Belt popped off and slit my radiator hose. Thankfully it was across the street from a Big10 tires and 2 of the guys stayed late to help me get it fixed with the tuner...Shop didnt have a rad. hose so I had to improvise. Had to get a coupler a tie the hose together

So everything on this phase has been completed.

Mounted SC Ice Box, ran all the lines above the subframe connectors, zip-tied them all, mounted jabso water pump, installed mezeire elec. water pump, new tensioners, new belt, new braided lines for crank case pressure system w/ new breather can mounted in front bumper area, cleaned up wiring in engine bay, and installed SOS cup holder switch plate. It came out alot better than expected.


Ice Box (Its actually a box within a box with insulation in between to help with condensation), water pump mounted in spare tire slot secured with 4 bolts going through floor, and optima red top battery. Tank is secured by square tubing mounted to each side of the floor pan for additional support .

Revealing the new sos cup holder switch plate. Got to secure it soon so it will stop popping up.

Closer view of the switch plate

And finally, car is back together and garage is cleaned and tool box is organized.

^appreciate it! I love the way it turned out. Can't see any of the bracing or anything. Just hope its strong enough although I think it is.

eh - pulling an all nighter tonight....I had to finish my car and when I got done, it was latteeeeeeeee..So I decided to clean up the garage, organize all the tools, and now just watching tv waiting to go to work.

If I attempt to go to sleep for only 3-4 hours, I will not wake up for shit! lol So if Im up late, I pretty much gotta pull an all-nighter

That sucks, I know the feeling of being up all night and day. Sleep is something I value very much most days.

 

[BMR Tech]

LOL! All nighter.

Cars cause the craziest things...I have been there a time or 5.

Keep up the great work Brandon.
