Engine time

Hi folks,

I received a lot of great feedback on my Blog but it has been awhile since I updated it.  The car looks amazing and I will add new pictures soon but I wanted to report to everyone that I have decided to remove the engine and have it professionally overhauled.  This will be the icing on the cake for me and will really finish off the project.  I will be sending the original 318 Poly engine to the professionals at Nova Automotive in Dartmouth NS.  As I go through the process of removing and re-installing the engine I will add photos and updates on here.

Spring 2010 - the first ride today

Two years and it is seeing the sun again today. All that is left now is cleaning and finishing touches on the interior. The old car started up and drove like a dream.

A few more shots I took

It now needs to be cleaned bad. I have a small residue of compound on it giving it a haze look. I am looking forward to cleaning and waxing it.

Bumper

The bumpers are installed - I just need to pick up three more bolts this week. They will be re-chromed next year. For now I painted them - not too bad for paint hey?

Trim time

The trim has been installed and all glass, mirror, and emblems are also installed now. I also bought and installed new trunk seal as well as new door seals. Almost done. Next - complete the door handles then just a few interior pieces.

I think it will officially be done before the new year.

Calling to be driven.

Starting to see her all finished with the top down driving down Lawrencetown beach. Worth the wait for sure.

She is starting to look good.

One more go around with the polishing wheel and the trim and door handles can be installed. Now I want to drive it. Looking forward to that first spring run.
