dougy Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 thanks Hussein...charcoal is the only reason why I went to look at it and most likely bought it... if it was beige i would not even leave my house to look at it...lol...cams are in backwards ...i'll be using R head with 01 exhaust vt gear only...the way it came..and I wanted to use the original cam cover so i dont have to make intake sensor cam cover but it was not a match.

dougy Posted February 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 entire harness covering is all done...i am anal about lill things like that...and 28 years ago when i stared working on cars i would not have it any other way but the factory OEM way to the last bolt and nut and god forbid if i would cut or drill a hole that was not meant to be there...lol ...this c70 is a tribute how i use to fix all of my cars ...lol... only difference is I would not buy or use any used parts to built any engine like i did here... now all i have to do is to replace a window regulator and just wait for 16t turbo to arrive and see how this R engine runs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougy Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thanks Kit, not ruining yet...apparently i'm can assemble entire engine together from scraps of three engines, then a junk yard remove a turbo and ship it out to me...lmao still waiting for turbo to arrive.
