Build Log: XXX Install and More...

Trust me. I called the insurance company because I wasnt sure whether I should bother calling the cops or not.

it was on private property, so no report technically needed....but as long as the car gets back together

Just got home from class a little while ago and saw this at the door.

Its just the grill piece Im going to use with my new grill. Hopefully the grill itself will make it to me by the weekend.

Well as far as my sub-stage goes, things aren't looking good.

Ive been camping on my stuff for now, mainly because I dont want to sell it, but I think I might have too. Probably gonna off the KX2500 and XXX when I get the courage up to post them in the classifieds.

It sucks to cop out on it, but I have my reasons.

Mainly with my turn of bad luck lately my priorities really have shifted. The transmission in my car is really not doing well. Im sure I can make it last me to the summer or throughout it, but I really need to get all the parts I have on my car.

Ive got boxes of shit just piled up in my room and I have the resources to get it all together, Ive just been slacking on that side of things, but now my car is really getting desperate.

My Uncle built up another 4.6 for me, without telling me, I guess its considered a Christmas present //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

He's got a set of mustang cams in it and PI heads and its sitting at his shop. Ive gotta get down there really soon, this weekend would be ideal, so I can lay out all my parts in the shop and start putting things on the motor.

Ive gotta get the intake manifold and really the entire intake setup put on it. Valve covers, vac lines, wiring harness, egr, fuel rail and injectors, etc, etc......

Before that though I need to go check out the ***** I have out at the shop and pop it open. It has very low miles but we might send it out to get freshened up inside. I need to look and see exactly what year it is still so I can swap out my separator plate from my shift kit for the right one. Then I need to put the kit in the *****.......

Then over a weekend Ill run out to the shop and we'll do the swap.

Lotta work....

Plus I contacted a company that has a 2.5" fiberglass cowl hood for my car. The name is Fiber-Concepts iirc, they dont have any pictures for me, but they do have a mold and can build a hood for me. Will take a little while to get to me, but if I order it this week I should be able to get it around the time of the swap. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

$450 plus tax and ship. Ive got the cash for it so Im going to go ahead and order it when I have the time this week.

Grill showed up today, I couldnt help myself so I started cutting it up. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Kind of annoying cutting up a brand spanking new $110 piece of plastic.

Pics after pb finishes uploading.
