project stuka Options

[paroxysm]

just thought I'd better start a thread for a project that I've been working on for about 9 years.
had a car in 99 i had done up fine

but one day the passenger door would not open,and said hey how about an engine swap, bought a 2.2 six and then realized 125hp was not enough, so a v8 became my goal. Destiny had other plans.

The car I had built for my wife was finished off by an eager srt4 neon

I was the driver had my leg broken in 3 places, but I lived.

mocking up stage. I replaced the bondo slante nose look with fiberglass fenders

now that 90% of the bodywork was done it was time to get the car to actually run, and just this last weekend I did get it running. The reason for calling it a stuka is the lysholm charger sounds like an air raid siren. I will post up a vid of it running when i get a chance.

the car is now at home so I can finish up the wiring in my spare time. I've rebuilt the pedal cluster, then went through the linkage for the tranny and took out all the slop so now I can find all the gears. Now to wire fans, boost, air fuel, temp, driving lights, o2 sensor, and find out why I have no fuel gauge and no signals lights.(but my hazards work) also when putting in my new master cylinder, I didn't know to put the washers from the old one into the new one, so that has to be taken apart and redone/bled

That is one crazy cool project. LOVE IT!!! Just plan on tucking it away till spring and paint it then- and spend the remaining summer getting it going. I think I speak for all of us when I say we're waiting to see and hear that beast rev thru all 5 gears. Stop teasing us with these little putt putts up and down the driveway.
