Couple more pictars of the progress... Garage is finished up until next spring, then I will finish putting OSB up around the rest of the walls and ceiling. I am going to straighten out as much electrical as I can and put up new lights and outlets as I go.

They were threatening us with snow so I finally got the Ol' Girl washed and put in the garage. This is how it has sat for about a year now, it's going to be great to put it back together! Car is now up in the Air on Jack stands, still on schedule to start work around the first of Jan

Thanks Guys, The omni is safe, stored away for the winter. It will be at my new house in the spring time, then I need to find some wheels and tires for it... The original tires aren't very good, but they do hold air and they are original so I am going to keep them on the stock wheels for shows and such. What do you guys think for rims? I was thinking maybe a set of 15" Rota Slips or maybe Black FN01RC's

Thanks! The truck looks a little different now, the windows are tinted, there is a chrome bug guard on the grill, hella 500's behind the grill, fender flares very soon (waiting patiently in the garage) and I'm prob going to get a fiberglass cap for it

We adopted Benjamin, he is about 1 yr 8 mos old, he (to the best of our knowledge) is a black lab pit mix (found out they are called Pitadores haha) He is an awesome dog, very well behaved, loves everybody

Alright, I know my progress pics are Effed... I was organizing my photobucket acct. w/e I'll fix them when I get a chance. I am finally wrapping up the house reno's (pics to come if you wanna see them...) and moving onto my car.

My Fiance and I are trying to get ourselves out of a big CC debt (Unknown to me until recently). Soooo the car won't be finished as planned right away but I need to drive it so I'm going to finish it with the parts I have and run a low boost setup. Low boost because I need to run it on factory fuel and ign. and a stock clutch :banghead: :(

Here is a teaser... Stay Tuned/

PS sorry for the Cell Pic, I will get real pictars soon.

It REALLY sucks... we paid off a chunk with my refund for buying the house, I knew there was debt, but I didn't find out exactly how much until we decided to have a joint account to make paying bills easier. I'll be glad when this is all over (scheduled end date 2 yrs from now :( ) and I can actually enjoy the money I make. It's pretty well known in our house now that there will only be 1 credit card forever more, and I will be watching it very carefully... Rant/

YES! Now that it's on the forums she can't change her mind right?!?! I don't know if the car will be done in time but if it isn't it will still be fun.. Maybe we'll bring kyles down instead

Got some more done today... I broke the lug off from the starter :o( so now I need to find a parts starter or one for cheap, anyone know if any other cars use the same solenoid?

Getting the stock TB hogged out by my buddy on monday, the turbo mani and ex housing are getting ceramic coated early next week... I still need to modify the rad support and intercooler... so much left to do!

Image

I'm doing a mild tuck while I have it all apart, you can see the frame rails are pretty bare :thumbup:

I ordered a small battery today and I'll be doing remote mount charging terminals as the battery will be behind the bumper now

I'm toying with the idea of putting the computer here if I can't put it behind the bumper as well..

Congrats on getting some progress up.

Best of luck with getting that debt gone. Debt can consume life and the sooner it's gone the better.

I'm not sure what day we'll go down, we usually leave early friday morning and make it to the show by 12-1 ish.. I had thought about heading down thurs after work this year though... I dunno yet..

Go ahead and send yours up! Just make sure you remember to put several blank checks in the glove box when you do!

Update, car has been on the road for about a month and a half now, ragged bumper, running well at 20psi :thumbup:

Quick rip from roughy 70mph, my brother (driving the camera car) said he was doing about 68-70
