I'm in it to win it My appeal lies mostly with the ladies, so I'm betting on my car's raw sexual charisma to win over the bridesmaids for the clinching points Also SSS and Slung Blade, do you guys feel like investigating a sick ride for us? http://m.kijiji.ca/classic-cars/calgary/1985-buick-century/v?adId=1136891677&ck=CK&from=Search&ts=1454304741431

slidebite posted:Hey stud, if you're going for charisma nothing screams it like bright yellow AZTEC with minor body damage. Holy poo poo yes. An Aztek must qualify as "exotic". And there's nothing the other teams could do to it to make it less attractive.

slidebite posted:I am scanning the skies for the Alberta AI version of a bat signal an erect penis...? to go view this thing. Haha, yeah I can only imagine. Eazee got ahold of the Z31T guy and apparently it needs a battery and rack and pinion. Which isn't super expensive, but would definitely push us out of our budget. Too bad, that would have been a terribly amusing horrible decision.

The seller is a bit hard to deal with, which I know is probably hard to imagine on a $500 conversion van from kijiji. But it's true. If we can determine if it's a runner, it might be a go.

Only $200 for that? well, the motor is currently a spectacularly inefficient blower fan right now, so we will need to do something about that but the important parts (steering, brakes, suspension) are a few notches above "dangerous", so it's a start

Jesus, what a girl car. Lotion erosion and zero wear on the side bolsters because she probably weighs half of what I do. Looks awesome though! If you want to open up some budget room, start stripping parts/interior

Today was pretty successful. We harvested some parts from our donor car and moved some of the good stuff over to Sweet Chili Heat. Things are coming together. Engine swap hopefully next weekend, then the car can start living at McTinkerson's place. I've also started setting up the rally's social media presence. I'll post FB/twitter/Instagram links shortly.

that's some handsome looking ignition there boys Did you guys see the G+ post? We have social media accounts now, and I posted the login information for everyone. For everybody following along at home, you can look us up on Twitter and Instagram at @tm2twrally and on Facebook by searching for the full rally title: Transmountain To Tidewater, and we'll be hashtagging all kinds of stuff with #tm2twrally as well, which I think is what the kids are still doing.

I ran a drill down them and then used that chisel (which I made from a railroad car's spring!) to remove the head after the center was removed. That blacksmithing stuff is super cool.

McTinkerson posted:We were all focused on getting the car completed rather than documenting the progress via imagery. Yeah, unfortunately I got caught up trying to get it done so my wife wouldn't murder me for spending all day on the car. Then the phone died and all hope was lost. Wife status: still in the murder zone Unfortunately this is all I can contribute from yesterday. First step of engine swapping: remove all possible emissions crap  After removing all emissions crap, put another engine in and start it. Oh, it won't start? Maybe plug in all the wires.  Once it's running, immediately drive it on a major highway and annoy WRX's with your kazoo exhaust.
