*Battery relocation, new intake work in progress**
Thursday, July 20, 2006 5:07 PM
Well this is a project that I have been wanting to do for quite some time now.....So I finally started it!

I drilled up the battery tray, went and bought some self tapping screws and 3 hours later (1.5 of them it was storming outside so I couldn't work on the car) I got the battery relocated and all hooked back up....

All thats left tomorrow is cutting the intake pipes to size, drill a hole for my water injection nozzle, and install the new intake! Yippeeee!!!!!!!! On with some pics...


This is a pic just after I drilled out the tray.........I also cut the hole under the fuse block a little bigger....and the best part is I don't have to do away with my washer fluid bottle!



New intake before being cut to fit.....Don't mind the tape its just estimates of where to cut( Thanks Viper98912)


And finally the battery installed......



And last but not least.....I would like to thank Alberto aka Viper98912 for supplying me with the intake pipes and also for kicking me in the butt to do this project! Thanks man!

Well I ended up dropping the washer tank out. Who needs it anyway plus its a slllllllllllllllllllliiiiiight weight reduction haha.........So I got the intake mounted and the alky nozzle installed....

All I gotta do is hook up the line for the injection and hook the filter up............Damn afternoon storms kept me from finishing! Well here's pics of how it is now........and i'll take pics tomorrow when im finished with it!

All finished






Ok so the intake pipe I used has a little bend on the end as you can tell........then I put a 45 degree rubber elbow on the end to go through the hole....and then the filter is hooked straight to the elbow.....alky nozzle is underneath the intake pipe!

Come tuesday we should have the brakes running on the old school single reservoir brake cylinder setup. It wont be stock but just as good. I have a friend that will sandblast all my rims for 50 bucks. Throw some rubber on there and paint the rims (perhaps a lime green) and she should be on the road within 30 days. after that its all cosmetic body and interior. Flat black paint. Shes going to turn heads. I'll be making a progress post soon!

Once she's drivable the sky is the limit, designing the bullets on the grill and T-Bird tail lights to the interior design will be the most fun.
