Got the 92SE into the shop last night. :hyper: Chad (hotrodllsc) came down for most of the night to hit my buddies 95GT with the code scanner (problem: had 3.8 MAF :slap: )

Before:


Easy and quick - about 18 bolts - hour later


Damage: This Rad support is suppose to like perpendicular to the ground...but lucky for me it did not hurt the subframe :D Nothing a sawzal and a parts can won't fix.


Next step will be (besides fixing the support) clean under hood, probably C/H/I swap and might as well ditch the ABS to prepare for the SN95.

GOing to need some cleaning

Here are my thoughts on the wheel well moldings: They look awesome as far as shape. They look crummy as far as being chrome. Send them out here and I bet for $60 I can have them powdercoated black.

I think its awesome that you are pulling one of these cars back from the brink of the crusher. "Remember, don't crush 'em. Restore 'em."

[SilverFox]

ESPECIALLY A 92SE!
I have to crush them all eventually - the parts cars only last so long before they are truely flatliners!

As for the moldings......thanks for the offer, I have 2 powdercoat guys that are vendors of the company I work at. Not to dis ya, but $60 sounds HIGH. I had RED done for $20 on swaybars/COntrol arms. But if you include shipping - it would be $60 I guess. :)

As for the rest of the car trim....having it powdercoated ALL...thinking of using LSC chrome trim to do it though, as then I don't have to worry about stripping or the old PC interfering with the NEW PC.

Tonight I will be pulling the brake system to prep for Booster/SVO MC and pull the Smog.

Good deal, looks like you're ready to get it in nice shape, good for you!!! :headbang:

Of course, keep up with the sweet pics!

[SilverFox]

I gur-an-tee there will be well documented brake conversion and SN95 swap pics/info.

[Tubby]

Sweet, I'm very interested in both!

[re-Markable LSC]

If you want to sell those wheel well moldings let me know.

Sweet Dan, glad to see you getting to dig into it finally. If it stops raining this evening, I may start digging into my parts car. Not near as much fun as you will be having!

[hotrodllsc]

I would like to formally state here and now that I had no part whatsoever in that A/C line disconnect tool. I was completely against it and would nevAr condone such riggery.













lol, ok, so I used it to take off the A/C lines. So sue me. :dork:

Anyway, looks like you've got everything in order! I just sent off all my hot parts to Jet-Hot today. ooooooo I can't wait. :naughty:

[blacklsc]

original wires??? thats car abuse.

[96DiamondVIII]

I'm surprised they lasted that long. I had to replace the wires on my VIII just after I got the car (8 years old, not quite 50K miles...)

Good luck with the project!

[SilverFox]

I plan on keeping the chrome wheel moldings no matte what. :D

[SilverFox]

1) Engine tear down in prep for Heads/Cam/Intake swap as of 3-30-06

2) Brake Accumulator removed in prep for SVO booster/MC

Air pump relocation near complete as of last night as well....this is fucking SIMPLE and reccomend it to ALL. I will write a tech artical on it soon.

[90LSC_CT]

Good job on the pump relocation, that looks pretty good. Are you thinking of relocating the battery too, at some point? Just curious. You're making some good progress already!
