Front bumper has been repaired, and more parts have been sourced for the head build.



At my last junkyard trip I picked up new support brackets that attach the bumper. Due to the front fender on this side getting hit, it had tweaked the support and the bumper fit incorrectly. Much better now.
All EVO 8 internals for the head build have been bought, and the valve cover was powder coated. I removed the baffles so no sand would be hidden after prepping for coating, and gave it a 360* clean. Baffles were bolted back in place with loctited screws.



Hyundai G4JSvalve cover with the lettering milled, and powder coated wrinkle red. I made a spark plug cover and coated it wrinkle black.



Complete turbo from an Evolution 8. Had minimum shaft play but it will be rebuilt as well.

 

Where can I get a new pair of lights for my 2001 Stratus coupe? Mine are badly yellowed. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

Finally found a set of Evo wheels so I dont have to run wheel spacers anymore. Perfect fitment, and a great look for the car. I powder coated them high gloss black; I love how they came out. Went with the stock Evo size tire 235/45. Removed all the old peeling window tint and glue, just need to set up an appointment to have it redone.
Checked out the Cars and Coffee this past weekend as well.

 

Looks awesome!

 

Turbo fits... if i didnt need a starter 😅. Not sure if I'm going the custom manifold route or spacers and longer exhaust studs. Still need to get the new DOHC head timed and running well before I get the turbo installed and tuned.

 

Looks nice
