Lunch break update

Well I am taking a lunch so I thought I would update. My car will be here in 2 hours! I will post pics later.

Sand Blasting the aero rims

Today I started blasting the aeros, but didn't get far because my sand was wet. I started to blast one rim and will have to finish it tomorrow. My plan is to blast them all tomorrow. Moving on... My vert still hasn't been moved. My buddy is having it towed by AAA but we have to wait to june 1st because he used up all his free tows. He said we can tow it at 7am sunday because I have to be at work at 9am, but I don't see it happening. In other news my parts car comes tomorrow (well today).

Let the stripping begin NOT YOU THE WHEELS

Well I started to strip the aero rims today after I picked them up from my mechanic who took the tires off. Here are some pics, more to come later I am dead tired!!

NEW AERO PIX

Getting ready to move the vert!

Well I am getting the vert towed tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!! The car is running ok for the most part. There is some steam coming from around the radiator so I have to check that out.

Even more parts today!!!!!!!!!!!

So my new aero rim was at my door this evening and it a lot nicer!!!!!!! Pics tomorrow.

More parts came in.

I had a busy weekend and this is my first chance to update the blog. I received my 9000 big brake conversion stuff and braided stainless steel brake lines. The car gets moved tomorrow!!!!!

So you say the rims straight....... not!

After looking at my 9000 aero rim that I got in the mail I noticed its not totally straight. The one gouge there is in the lip has bent it. So I called and they sent out another rim. Here is the carnage.

Peeling bubbling rash.....On my aero rims

So before I can throw some Ds on my vert I have to refinish my 9000 aero rims. One of my rims has a chunk out of it so I bought another rim and it got here today. I'll throw up some pictures of the new rim.

Parts!!!!!!!!

Well I have been on the phone most of the day trying to get some parts i need for the build. So far I got one aero rim to replace the beat up one. I think I have a 85t exhaust cam coming too.

STILL WORKING ON THE GARAGE

Well I am still getting this garage organized, I have so much SAAB stuff its not funny. And yet some how all the saab stuff I have isn't useful to me in my project. Today I am going to mop out the basement at the new house and take the saab stuff down there. I also am building my air compressor in. Thats it for now, got to get back to work.

Tools

Well I succeeded in getting my tools to the new house. Now I am about to go over there to start organizing my new garage. In other news i bought a sand blaster and a exhaust tip for the ng900.

And we have ignition

Well today I got the vert started she ran for a bit but she sounds like crap. All that sitting made the top end all noisy and killed the battery. She also smoke a little from around the down pipe and then the check engine light came on then when off. Also thanks to my mom's collection of junk in the garage i found mice droppings on the engine. I think the smoke was coming from the turbo, I hope its not seized. How crappy would it be if a mouse got into the turbo while my IC pipes were off. I had to jump start it with the NG900.

My First Update

Well I have pretty much finished the parts list on my site. http://airflowmemorial.googlepages.com/ I also just bought a parts car which will provide the 5spd, 2.1 intake, 2.1 head as well as other parts to the airflow. I will also be parting the rest of the car out when I get the stuff I want out of it.
