The piece of metal across the top of the firewall;

Is it structural? Can I trim it to make room for the my throttle control lever?

Nope, but that is where the engine compartment front seal attaches.

I don't recall pulling a front seal from there. Would anyone happen to have a picture?

I'm planning on going with a full grate style engine lid, and I don't recall the front seal...

I cut mine. Just box it back in. It will be fine. This is the best picture I could find. If you look close you can see the cut out and rounded corners.

I had my favorite machinist cut and weld the intake manifold. Now I need to modify the throttle lever a little, and it looks like it will work.

It's incredibly tight, but it will work.

That's almost as crazy plumbing as mine. I'm impressed, keep it going.

The engine is back out of the car, also. Time to put a dimple for the throttle lever, run some turbo lube and coolant lines, and get the down pipe situated a little bit better. The welder/machinist/fabricator did the build w/out the car present and got it off by just enough that we need to tweak it.

the shift bushings are in, too. =o)

Transmission mounts... 911 sport units. Twenty minutes later. What can I say? It's tough to get off the creeper to get stuff that I left on top of the car. lol

Thanks Felix! (Neo9146)

Slowly getting there. =o) The downpipe needs tweaked a little to fit right. It was built without the car present and the fabricator got it close.. almost perfect, but not quite.

Back ugly bumper off. anyone want to buy it? it's in good condition, but it's still a 76 bumper.

I've got a pair of Chrome ones on my 73 parts car. =o)

the front one is off, too... but that part of the shop wasn't lit enough to get a picture with my cell phone.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) ---> that's going to get some holes sometime SOON. woot! airflow for cooler engine temps.

The pic is still dark... I suppose I could open photoshop, but it's been a long day. I just want to put my feet up in about 3 posts and watch some TV.

Hopefully I'll get pics of the blue ones under the car into this situation soon, too!

Slowly getting there. The Orange reducer is hiding a bad angle... this is getting fixed.

better angle...

If you look at the orange, the pipe that is inside there coming off of the turbo points away from the engine a little bit more. The other U-tube that is getting cut tomorrow will remedy that awkward airflow pattern and smooth things out a bit.

The black tube between the throttle body and that first curve was quite a find, too! It fits perfect and will work great with the location of the throttle body in relation to the firewall.

I scored a set of 360cc injectors. These are stock injectors from a 3000GT VR4.

Top one is the old one (180cc, IIRC)
bottom one is VR4 injector. 360cc.
