I gutted the factory front clip & cleaned it up. I mounted the TRZ rack and stalled after that for a lack of bolts for the front suspension.

Starting the battery power components, and battery disconnect. Waiting for the cable clamp. I hate body work dust.....

Started I stalling the TRZ front suspension after getting home from Goodguys.

Finally put a new battery in it after realizing now both 9 and 10 year old blue top Optimas are bad...and of course a stock style flooded NAPA battery is taller than the Optima that came out.

Cut the rounded ends of the ring terminal end leads straight and paired them on the top post bolts(I had 2 + and 2 - leads) Installed longer pieces of allthread and made a new flat only(no angle iron welded to it) top plate hold down. I'll try to start it later, left it on the Battery Tender for now.

Installed a pair of Viking DAs in the front. They were a bitch, had to drop the front coils to get them in.

DHR Darren · - GearHead -

Installed my new fuel pickup & sender. Also set the caster on the front suspension.

aukai · - Aloha Mike - Kapaa Kauai, Hawaii

Got paint on the underside, and a sanded base coat to the outside of the CF parts.

Brettd85 · - Beemer Brett - Redmond, WA

That looks great! You are just doing this outside too?

aukai · - Aloha Mike - Kapaa Kauai, Hawaii

The inner parts are getting sprayed outside since they will have panels covering them, the outers are sprayed for base coat, and sanded for the paint booth.

Started porting my 781 heads today. Roughed in all ports on one head and started cleaning up exhausts. Just trying to smooth out all the ridges and casting imperfections. Then clean chambers a little after unshrouding valves. Valves are currently cut a little undersize and once I’m done they’ll be cut to 2.19 and 1.88 and new guides, which I’ll have to clean up a little.
