Alright thanks BuiltNBoosted. For powder coating I guess I'll pass on the lime green then.
No, seriously though I'll go with a silver/grey color. And yes, the engine bay is definitely getting a major cleaning!

I wish I remembered the name of this stuff my dad uses. Its something INSANELY cheap, they tell you to dilute it with water to use it for anything. I wish I remembered the name. If I remember ill look when I get home. its like $6 for a gallon of this insane stuff.
Purple power? Simple green? Super clean??

I know I know still not too much to see. We're still waiting on the rods and the head gasket.
Who thinks I should remove the side moldings?
Removal of the badges are in the near future. Sorry John Hays...
Another interior shot. Oh, and those are not the seats that will be in it come next month
These are in a better place in the shop now. The block will be redone black.

Agreed. I would keep the side molding since it is a z24.

Yeah they are. That's what I meant in the caption above the pic that they're in a better spot in the shop now. We're running out of room lol. Of course, the best place for it is in the engine bay

Wow dude, that engine bay looks amazing now. Great job so far.
Im really looking forward to seeing the outcome of this car.
MUCH better bay. Ill still try to remember and see what that stuff is called my dad has. Nasty amazing stuff. Love it.
Don't know how I missed this as I'm always on here, anyway car looks great. And as stated before thanks for serving.
hahahaha that engine bay looks damn near show room now!
and im with them ^^^. leave the moldings. you wont like it without. i regretted taking mine off my white car in the end. it makes the sides look too ef'n broad on a cavalier. they need them on there to break up the lack of body line. i hate the way most look without them.
Come join us over on the Olds Quad 4 and Twin Cam Facebook group!
I was wondering where this thread had gone but couldn't remember the name lol. Can't wait to see this thing in person!

While your on ebay, get a new white coolant tank, that yellow throws that clean engine bay off.
Or paint it black.
I was thinking of painting it white actually.
Thanks for all the comments though. I need more hours in the day to get it done on time lol.

Or buy mine that goes on the driver side instead of the passenger side
Since you are going turbo, you could run your intake to where the old stock coolant tank was, just like mine and have way more room. Already powder coated silver, but you could get it coated white.
Only mention it since you have the engine bay gutted, wiring moved and gutted. Perfect time to clean that part up too. You let me know. Will make you a deal better than what im selling it for now.
Lookin good

What kind of seats are those?
Summit Racing Seats. They fit great. I took them out to make it easier to work around them, and so that we don't rip them or something.

Damn lookin sweet man!!!!
Looking good so far.
Your thread makes me want to start one for my car and all the recent works thats been going into it.
I know you went the the 98 harness for simplicity and not having to rewire bumper to bumper but I would and did go with 00+ to use the gm crap flash as a start and to be able to tune speed density and not alpha n.
