Caged Project, goodbye sally, hello caged car Options

[xian 1g]

well, this is a bit over due and late news, but i thought i'd post it up anyways to continue on with ben's idea of showing progress on a project to the board.

as most of you already know, the old red sally went on to be in tyler's hands, and i continued on with my fetish for products and cars that have passed through spy's hands.

here are few pics, and update on what mods have made it off the shelf and into the car, what mods are still on the shelf, and what mods i am waiting to buy....

(i think this is my second productive post )


i apologize for the pic size, i'm drivng and can't adobe them down.



smoke added for effect. good bye sally. we had a love hate relationship wihle it lasted. we just were never meant to be together....






hello caged car... of course the spy scooped hood will be on the acquired from spy caged car. travis was happy to see this one come back to champaign...






what does the bloomington idb think huh? champaign's crew dressed in their sunday best.... thanks eric and marty for the help with the engine pull... took about and hour and half, two hours...











and plop....


a big thanks to drew for the help dropping her in. Don't know how you managed to avoid all photo's... and to Travis for the final umf to get the engine and transmission in. I hate my damn motor mounts... everyone else's motor's seem to just drop right in.. mine are funky and you have to a jack under the engine and then the motion of the ocean along with some good ole fashioned ky to get her in....


well, that took all of four hours... a month ago... sorry for the belated post... i'll post the mods and work to do later... just had to get that one off of my chest.

and i feel pretty silly with out an exhaust right now. the stock one was pinched off on one of the muffler outlets, so i'm running open stock down pipe right now. kind of looking at making one in house right now.
and then, some injectors and whatever supporting mods the turbo i get will need.
