#359376 got quite a few things to say about the car, let me start with some small things i recently ordered.

my fuel pressure regulator adapter that came with the kit cannot fit the stock fuel rail, so i had to get an adapter

the silver adapter below

ordered this

remember the hose that runs from the brake booster to the intake manifold? i ordered 2ft of "Stainless Steel Double Braided 1500 PSI -6AN AN6 Oil Fuel Gas Line Hose BSH-6" to replace it

see below pic with the current black hose

Image


also ordered 5ft of "Siliver AN4 Stainless Steel Braided Fuel Oil Gas Line Hose -4AN 1FT" to run from my master cylinder to my reservoir bottle. decided to keep the res bottle out of the bay, something i think i saw somebody do on this site.

going to be running the steel braided line from the master cylinder through the firewall (hole above the brake booster) and to the res bottle which will be attached to the body of the car under the wiper cowl (google 'wiper cowl' lol). i have also decided to only use one wiper, maybe a 24inch on the driver side only :D

#359377 sadly :( , today i realized how much i hate how the car looks, the fine details... i always knew it and said in the interest of time and because of budgetary constraints at the moment i would put the car on the road now and look back at it in the future.

however, after a thorough inspection today i realize i cannot put the car on the road in this state :( . it is not a true representation of the hard work, dedication and commitment i have put in over the period. this is not the vision i had for the car and i will never feel good or contented driving it in this current state, not even for a few months [smilie=BangHead.gif]

stuff like,
* spraying parts while on the car. so when the parts are removed you are seeing different colors
*spraying on dirt. so you are able to crack and strip away the paint easily
*spraying without removing clips, so there is paint between the clip and the body of the car that cracks and when clip is removed there is a different color
*spraying with brackets in place. so the same thing happens like the clip when bracket is removed
*ALOT of inperfections on the body. the one most noticeable are the waves in all four doors
*areas on the chassis already starting to show signs of dust build up because the area wasn't properly cleaned and wasn't sprayed

#359378 based on the above i did the following.. i called a very very reputable repair shop, whose services are very very expensive :shock:, but very very guaranteed :D they are accustomed to this type of work and have displayed their work several times on the internet. see links below. you don't have to read just browse through the pics, its a Jamaican car forum

Upon their arrival i quickly realized they knew exactly what i was looking for and pointed out a lot of things even i overlooked. i am confident that they will produce quality showroom work and therefore have decided to delay the project a bit to get the car redone in its entirety. the sad thing about it is that it may include dropping the engine and gearbox to rework and respray the bay :shock:.. not sure yet, still in conversations with them

next i will update on what happened today and then i will tell what the next steps are
