Very nice!!! Although that alt is mighty close to the frame rail, would a shorter belt help move the alt away from the frame?

If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

Looks like a good 1/8" away. That's good enough in my book
Now with OE rubber motor mounts that might not be a good thing but he should be fine.
Nice progress BTW, your build is one of my all time favoritesJosh

SO, when will it be done? I'm debating whether I should go down this weekend or not. I start school monday so it would have to be before then. Thing is, I don't want to go down if it's not running. I don't have much money for gas, but I'd spend a little to come down and see it run. Also, do you still need a rear garnish for it? I am parting out certain stuff on my rust free 323, as I'm starting to build it into a race car this summer. So stuff that will be removed to be raced will be either thrown out or sold. And I tell you this. LOTS of stuff is coming off of it. My goal is to get it at least 100 lbs lighter than my protege.My family has lots of bg's!

Are those bars by the A pillar solid, or are you going to move them close to the A pillar for improved visibility? Looks good so far. I want to cage my car some day.Create your own VB Gallery here.

I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.
