DavidAlphin Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I hope this is in the right forum...but here goes. As I stated in my I intro thread, I'm taking Kenny's 96GT off his hands to rebuild. The current parts list is as follows: Grill Radiator support L front bumper support L front bumper Front fenders Radiator fans LH radiator fan plug Ground wires for alternator Trams fluid radiator hose Power steering rack Front axel Rear view mirror 2.2/2.5 motor Potential center diff Future mods include: UEL headers Custom exhaust Borla/Virbrant/Apexi muffler 5 M/T w/ stage 2 clutch in the future Performance brake kit Projector headlights w/ HID's So far...that's what I have on the to fix and to mod list. Running out to grab parts off of a parts car to start fixing it and fixing Kenny's car. Lets hope All things go according to plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyfvholla Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 So farI am in it for half a parts car and a LOT of labor to put it all back together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidAlphin Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 How much did Kenny have to pay you to take the GT off his hands? Pretty much what he stated above. That and 1500 bucks worth in payments whenever we start putting parts together on it. To me, it's not that much seeing as how I've wanted to take it from him a LONG time ago.

DavidAlphin Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Okay guys, long time no speak. I know I'm reviving what everyone thinks is a dead thread, but over the course of the next couple of months and throughout the rest of the year, things are finally going to get moving and stay moving. So far we have: Signed a lease on a 10x20 storage unit Removed all of Kenny's crap and spare parts out of the car Moved them into a storage unit Begun the hunt for a motor I'll grab some pictures this evening of the shed and all the stuff we have current when I make a run to the shed to drop off some more stuff. I'll also get some pictures Wednesday of the car in it's current condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyfvholla Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 This is the car as it sat a year ago. I've since pulled the motor and swapped some snowflakes on it. http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t375/Kennyfvholla/P5180203.jpg http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t375/Kennyfvholla/P5180204.jpg http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t375/Kennyfvholla/P5180206.jpg http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t375/Kennyfvholla/P5180207.jpg http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t375/Kennyfvholla/P5180209.jpg http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t375/Kennyfvholla/P5180215.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyfvholla Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 And here's how it looks as it sits right now. It's going to be hauled to the shed on Wednesday and then the tear down will begin! http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t375/Kennyfvholla/Honda/5BD76D3C-DB36-47DA-98E6-44740F762836-16105-000008FBF7E56B61_zps8b1a7906.jpg http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t375/Kennyfvholla/Honda/030CEC09-DC30-4374-A9C9-659BCD612ECD-16105-000008FBD9B22519_zps14bc041b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyfvholla Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Well, I can see about those side skirts that I found last week... I bent them though. They could probably be painted and turn out fine. But, who wants to mess with all that crap lol Bigger problem, we are on opposite ends of the country. Shipping will be a task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyfvholla Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Towed it out to it's new temporary home in the garage! We still don't have a motor, but we'll be getting everything else taken care of on the car as we finalize our search. If anyone comes across any EJ22 or EJ25 short blocks let me know! http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t375/Kennyfvholla/IMG_0255_zps03fe4c74.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyfvholla Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 i would totally paint them.. id be down to pay shipping but its no big deal if not I'll see what I can do. What's up with your EJ22? Why does it need to be rebuilt? How many miles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyfvholla Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'd rather take my chances with the EJ25D I have. It only has a spun rod bearing. I'll trade you for every minus the short block! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyfvholla Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Today we swapped out the RSB for the OB 18mm RSB, reinstalled all the interior components, and put the entire front clips together. It's coming together nicely. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidAlphin Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Motor has arrived, will be putting her together tomorrow. Might crack off the heads and replace the gaskets with thinner ones and get the cams reground...maybe... Pics of her MOSTLY back together will be posted tomorrow.
