Progress on my little coupe
So I was finally able to get to the shop and actually work on my car.
Bought a newer head and I'm going to rebuild it once I bring it to Cedric to resurface it and clean it up. Going to paint the block with VHT as well as paint the chasis grey while the engine is out and do a basic tuneup on the engine and suspension along with a 12v AC and heater system that will sit under the dash replacing the entire factory setup. I will finish my engine harness as well with the hacking and soldering.
As for the surface rust on some of the components, the car was in saltwater from Hurricane Charlie for about 16hrs. The flywheel has seen about 2500-3000 miles on an unsprung 6 puck HDXT clutch with a 400 mile break in period

The AC and Heater set up cost around $350 for the parts. The dimensions are that of a shoe box for the heater. can't find the AC dimensions.

The Nismo Power Brace started rusting before it ever saw the salt water. The Silver paint on it is extremely thin and loves to chip away.

I'll have to look at the catalog at work tomorrow. It' might just been a swampy though. I'm gonna have to double check on it.
