Looks awesome C.

**cstanley19** · 06-17-2010 03:59 PM

Thanks dude, getting the motor back today from the machine shop. hopefully I'll get most of it together Saturday. Pickin the body up Sunday and onto the wire tuck. I hope to be driving it by August 1st.

**crisvr6** · 06-17-2010 03:59 PM

nice work man !!

**cstanley19** · 06-17-2010 04:01 PM

Thanks cris, gotta give most of the credit to Dave so far... but I am super pumped with his work. I saw it last week and I got a chubby when I walked in the garage.. (ok it was a full stiffy)

**dogger** · 06-17-2010 04:06 PM

That color is beautiful! Can't wait to see some pics of it out in sunlight.

Only gripe is why didn't Dave take the plastic trim off the mirrors to paint them? So easy to do and its the right way to do them.

Jesus Christ, its about time.

**TheBurninator** · 06-17-2010 04:42 PM

**hubbell** · 06-17-2010 04:58 PM

purple is for girls.....

**cstanley19** · 06-17-2010 10:37 PM

Jesus Christ, its about time.

I know I know! I wanted to make a one page build for all the body stuff and quick updates as I finish her up. I plan on spending every night next week on wiring, and fab'in up the power steering like dogger did on his car. Lots to do but I feel like it's going fall into place soon. We can't all buy fitted turbo kit's made buy other people. cough cough (mike) cough...

Haha the only thing fitted was 3 charge pipes and I had to re-fit all 3 unfortunately. lol You got a kinetics setup anyway ya bastard!

Glad to see progress bro, looks real good. U going through the fender w/ the new harness?

**Audi_SoupeGT** · 10-13-2011 09:24 AM

Cheers, Great build

Didn't ask, but really if it's masked right, not a big deal. I am dying to see it in the sun too.

**dogger** · 06-17-2010 05:08 PM

They are so easy to take apart and its always better not to tape if you can. For this kind of paint job and I'm sure you paid a lot, I would expect the mirrors to be taken apart rather than taped. Especially with all of the time put into taking the rest of the car apart.

**hubbell** · 06-17-2010 05:37 PM

send hate mail to dave then?

The reason I taped them off is cause sometimes I'm hit or miss on not breaking the glass and since I know how to mask stuff off properly I didn't find it a problem. But next set I do I'll get a how to from you or maybe just send them your way.

**Noodleboy** · 10-30-2010 08:51 PM

Holy crap!!!! Interior is looking spot on!!!! Is that a local shop????

**hubbell** · 10-30-2010 08:59 PM

are we going to push that interior around in the car? lol.....

**cstanley19** · 10-30-2010 10:32 PM

umm I think this will be the last thing to be put in the car. No the shop is not local, it's in GA.

**dasbeast3.0** · 10-31-2010 01:21 AM

Nice man.. not sure how I feel about the stitching in the middle of the glove box. I'll have to see it completed. Awesome work tho, Yoyo's guy did it right? sending pm

**NoCYet** · 10-31-2010 09:16 AM

I like the stitchline on the glovebox, and the color is amazing!

I stop in hoping to see progress, but the only progress I am seeing is you guys lubing each other up.

Casey, is the airforce the new navy?

**cstanley19** · 02-03-2011 05:48 AM

Unfortunately all branches are now queer like the Navy since the lift of the "Don't ask don't tell" policy.. My original comment wasn't a poke at you, I just figured you would be here with my favorite picture from h2o last year. But we can keep that off here. haha

**DrivenNails** · 02-03-2011 04:45 PM

DAAAUMMMN man, that is sweet

**eurosportgti** · 02-25-2011 02:26 PM

any updates? How did u support your AWIC core?

**cstanley19** · 02-26-2011 10:47 AM

The car is still at paint again, and some things are in the mix but you guys will have to wait until she is done. I also had Dave (bmxrado) build me a new exhaust.

The awic is mounted using steel flat bar. I bent it wrapping it around the bottom of the IC then another piece of flat bar welded to it. It almost looks just like a cross. Then I bent it to fit the contour of the tranny and over my frame rail, drilled a hole in the bottom and used the tranny as a mounting point. I will take pics of it if you want. It worked out really well and it was like $5 worth of steel and about a half hour or so to make it. Pretty easy.

You could claim the welds no one on the interwebs would ever know. Either way work looks sick. You teachin yourself to weld by just getting in seat time or is he helping you out???

**dogger** · 03-04-2011 07:20 AM

Nice welds Josh!

**cstanley19** · 03-04-2011 12:28 PM

I actually welded this exhaust I was just trying to give Dave some love

**eurosportgti** · 03-04-2011 04:13 PM

exhaust looks dope! do u plan on coating or wrapping it?

**cstanley19** · 03-04-2011 08:47 PM

I never wrap it.. always bareback

**rico_arg** · 03-31-2011 10:41 AM
