nice to see a 2dr on here, shes looking good two. got any new action shots?

 

yea, it sitting non-running in my garage. right now the only hold up is my header. the borla I ordered turned out to be cracked, and Im waiting for it to be welded

 

got some progress on the borla. Its got cracks everywhere, from the PO who told me it was in 100% condition before I bought it.

delivering a trans tomorrow morning, then should get something accomplished tomorrow night.

 

just read your entire build. good luck with the rest. i look forward to seeing the results!!!

 

Ah, the trials and tribulations of the ambitious. I salute you from my street Jeep. Thanks for sharing. Not sarcasm.

 

sold the trans today.

build total is at 3140. I think running and at 2k is a good goal though.

cleaned the header up some more tonight.

 

Hurry up i want to see this done lol

 

yea, me too! its just so hot during the day, I dont even feel like working on it until night. the header I got used was so bad off, that I have to clean it up, before I can even repair it.

plans are falling to gether much faster now though. Im waiting on payment for some of my other stuff, which should keep this rolling right along. Im pretty siked about the plans.

I think im going with a AEM FIC, manifold v2.0, and some juice. I cant wait to get it together too.

 

worked on the alt mounting some today. also worked some on the engine harness.
Im really starting to get tired of all the unmentioned differences between a 97 and 99.


also sold some more stuff. total build cost is now below 3 grand. and I still have a ton of left overs to get rid of.

build total=2990 moist american dollars

 

yeah that header looks really beat up, good luck with everything

 

keep up the great build! enjoying the updates, cant wait to see the finish product!

 

well I wen tot finish the engine wiring today, after buying a new oil pressure sensor, and I couldnt get the started to mount up....I guess I broke the ignition wire off either pulling out for the parts jeep, or putting it in the new one...Diven that I didnt find any broken parts laying around, Its most likely happened when I pulled the motor.

So I pulled the solenoid from another starter and swapped it over. well the new solenoid plugs in differently so instead of hacking up the harness, I just made a jumper wire.

I also got my air temp sensor plugged in for my new over head console.


I also got my sweet matching steering wheel cover on, just to find out that the ******* at the parts store cut it with the box cutter when it got off the truck, so that has to be returned.

 

well you can see the slit in the wheel from the box cutter...it actually matches the center much better then in looks in the pics, just do to the flash and textures they look a lot more off then they do from inside the truck.


also as you can tell, no pic of the starter or air sensor cause my cam is messin up again.

 

well I have been busy past couple days, but got some stuff accomplished.

I am supposed to be getting money for my turbo and my manifold this upcoming week.
I finished cleaning my header last night, and it should be welded up this weekend.

I have been trying to get some cash together for a DD, but I think im just going to put all the $ toward the heep, and get lockers.

 

This jeep is putting you through hell and high water, but it's keeping me entertained! you may as well make this you DD since it'll be amazing once you're done... I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see how it turns out!
