1997 neon acr coupe 2012 challenge/DD build

Project blurple has lines that arent rusty or kinked. So, may actually stop properly! I also used about 3 feet of leftover insulation (stuff from antmageddon) on the firewall. Its about all the leftovers i had.

ive officially got all the good from this one. And probably some of the bad. 

Scrap guy will be here in the morning. Goal is to load it, then load it up with the extra scrap. make jenny happy.

Then clean and organize the shop. 

Very good! 

Found a few more bits this morning. NOW its all the good from it.

Gone. Time to clean up after work. 

Feels good to move a carcass, doesn't it? And your tiles are peeling again. 

In reply to mazdeuce - Seth :

This is the sude that floods. Gotta fix that before I re tile. The Armstrong side that i redid last year is holding up great. These roper tiles just suck.

restored pedal box ready for reinstall.

MC does it make any sense to retrieve the front/rear glass from this?

In reply to 759NRNG (Forum Partidario) :

Front was busted, and the rest of the glass was put in incorrectly.  Would have broke it trying to remove,  so didn't bother. Would have been nice to have spares though. 

Shop is as clean as can be for the tine being. Outside looks like a scrap yard,  but will slowly get better one cleaned, painted and reinstalled part at a time. Focus right now is on firewall and dash stuff so i can put that in before anything else. Also lets me get glass and doors on.the car, and reduce the amount of interior parts laying around drastically. 

Its amazing how much you get done in a short time

In reply to Justjim75 :

Have five minutes,  take five minutes. Im also work from home via phone right now,  which leaves VERY idle hands.....

my hardware needs to come back from the platers now....

In reply to Dusterbd13-michael (Forum Supporter) :

I have a mental image of a very organized project manager with a timeline white board showing that the hardware plater shipped everything so that it would arrive Saturday morning right as you finished breakfast and headed downstairs to the garage.

I have a mental image of you saying Why The Berk didn't I send they hardware off to the plater a few days earlier so that it'd be there by now.  Don't they berking understand the ADHD going on with this project!

You nailed it!

I actually mailed it before the sandblasting started. It was finished last Thursday,  and was supposed to ship Friday. Dammit post office,  hurry up!!!!

Made a rockauto order last night. $100 of brake hoses, radiator hose,  cooling system parts, etc. $25 was shipping. 

I also ordered the flex pipe and clamps to fix the borla exhaust i forgot about being broken. 

We'll see what happens today on the car itself. Have yard work,  family lunch,  and inlaws today.

i woke up at 5ish. Couldn't go back to sleep. Since the wife was still out, i worked quietly on the firewall. 

Still have to get the carpet in before the dash. Its in the sun drying from another round of cleaning. 

NOW i can put the dash in. After fixing the chopped up harness. And cleaning it. And double checking my work to this point. 

In reply to Dusterbd13-michael (Forum Supporter) :

Looks really good.  That carpet was out of one of your parts cars, right?  Looks nearly brand new.

it was pretty bad.

In reply to Dusterbd13-michael (Forum Supporter) :

Here I go barfing in my mouth again....

This is Munchkin 

Dash is almost in Dad is putting it in as I type.

Is there an engine and GB ready to go into this or is that work to be done?

In reply to NOHOME :

There is, but its also work to be done  

Have a fairly well built 2.0 dohc and acr trans in E36 M3box (red 4 door parts car) that is going into this. Need fresh gaskets, and a looking over and clean/paint before being put in the acr. And, you know, pulled from the running car
