Chase, while it's apart don't forget to tighten the nut behind the wheel.

Or maybe the seat rails.

Seat rails are going to be floor mounted, no more sliders I think, or adequate seat brackets.

All wheels have nuts behind them that require tightening man...it's up to you to decide which ones need it most.

So winters been a bit slow for the build.
Have the new turbo installed, just need to sort out some new coolant lines and get the exhaust fabbed up.

Engine should be coming out in the spring, and I'm deciding on replacing it with a long nose 1.6L, or just redoing mine, inspecting the crank and going from there..
I also need to refresh some of the seals if this is the case.

Should I just order a generic 1.6L engine refresh kit, and a cometic headgasket?
I've got a clutch that I'm going to toss in as well, as mine started slipping at the end of last year when I turned the boost up.. just a liiiiiitle bit.


Also, i've been toying with the idea that if the car starts to rust out (that I can't see), I'm going to pull off all the panels and tube it all..
