Resuced 4 Door

[imtb]

I got out of 510's for a little while after my wagon sold off all my stuff and mentioned on Drit tracker I was looking for another one. He told me about this one on the CL's and I went and checked it out. The I bought it from said he got from a feidl in Kentucky. I didnt buy it on the spot after seeing how much rust it had and wasnt sure I wanted this much of a project. I slept on it and thought about the 510 Keeper and how easy he makes it look getting these things back in shape, so I lowed balled and haggled with the guy and brought home. It never been wrecked and looked fairy decent and drove straight. This thing even had push to start and a screwdriver key. Nice. I drove it right to a body shop to have the rust delt with and got some panels welded but them the guy got hurt and couldnt work on it, so had it towed to my shop and started working on everything else. The pics will tell the rest.

 

The best I could tell it was never wrecked which I liked and it was L16 auto. I installed a L20b and dogleg from Yenpit and made sure it ran and then put the turbo on. Now its sitting in the body shop waitng to be painted.

:rofl: that literally made me lol

 

hahaha its deff not always easy.... and its always a lot of work.

 

but the build looks like its comin along smoothly.... and I love the L series trubo :cool:

[Draker]

It's funny how pictures make things look so easy.. it's like... before... during... after... wow!! It doesn't show the hours your are sitting there thinking kill me now and busting your knuckles to fuck and all the swear words. Either way, it's always so rewarding when you're done.

 

I'm loving this build! Great save.

[imtb]

The engine is just a ginnny pig. Basically just put it in to get everything prepped for the brand new L20B block getting O ringed, Z22 crank, long rods, forged pistons,U67 head with turbo cam from isky.
