PurePontiacKid Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 planning on making something for the sides of the dash? would make it look 100% better imo (and a real tach and the stock steering column cover wouldn't be bad finishes either :P ) Quote Link to comment
dat77sun Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I'm withppk it would look much better with sides for the dash and column covers, but other than that it looks great, what color are you gonna paint it? Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I'm actually planning on changing the dash setup. I've landed some shop time in my brothers old sheet metal company he worked for and we're gonna use the big ass break and water jets to make me a new one. It needs to sit a little back. The tach is staying though. I could mount it in the dash, but I'd loose the ability to use the mounted controls. Which I like. Paint is still undecided. I need to finish sanding it down and prime it. To do list: A/F gauge: I found that a 2002 VW Jetta 1.8L Turbo uses and upstream wideband sensor. I have one in the Zone for $51 Then I can tune it like a bawse. Front suspension: I'm gonna go ahead and use KYB inserts and get the GC coilover kit. I found someone to tig weld the coilover sleeves cheap. Engine: I'm gonna go ahead and buy the L20B from Hitch I think... you know where that's going... Electronics: I'm running through all the wiring now simplifying it and getting rid of all the unnecessary B/S I don't need. I need to sort out my priorities Quote Link to comment

Master-O-Turbonics Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I need a windshield for my car(like yours), would you know if any of the local junkyards have any 210's? Big rock nailed my windshield tonight... Quote Link to comment
jputz Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 just found a 210 in the junkyard in savannah might be worth the trip down here to get it. Quote Link to comment

Big rock nailed my windshield tonight... I haven't found one locally yet. Pull-a-part is empty and no one on craigslist is parting with ANYTHING. Lemme know if you can track one down.

jputz Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 purdy... do leave us hanging whats the plan? Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 For right now, just clean it up. In the near future, I'm looking at converting it to an L head and making an LZ20B. U67 head with my Weber would wake it up, but I think I want more. Not sure, but I'll be updating this a lot more soon. Quote Link to comment
Master-O-Turbonics Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 You need a Cylinder head! bottom end stuff means nothing with an L series engine until you have a built head! Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 You need a Cylinder head! bottom end stuff means nothing with an L series engine until you have a built head! That's the plan :) I wanna get the bottom end sorted out first, then decide on valvetrain. I wanna build it right. It's my first OHC engine build. Quote Link to comment
