Please clean me sir, before the heart transplant.

Need to convert to dsc before we clean and install the engine.
Look at the placement of the abs pump in the two engine bays, everything has to be transferred including all the brake lines.

The coupe had a throttle cable, it's being converted to drive by wire.

Today's update was parts shopping, desired wheels secured, track day rubber secured, various black interior trim pieces secured.




We won't need to order longer bolts and spacers, nice.

[Loom]

Any upgrades planned for the mower?

 

[Gizmo]

Update: Front suspension swapped over to the sedan to make it a roller. Front shock tower reinforcement plates carried over to the coupe.

Bodywork? Not much to do, surely. Mobile dent and paint repair should be fine.

YCE will do paint correction and detailing, that is if we don't wrap it in satin dark grey. Not yet decided.

The 224's in shadow chrome potentially.

With the ABS pump and brake master cylinder and brake booster out the way you can see the extent of the damage.
