Finally got some more work done and had more problems. Got the passenger header on lots of copper silicone and new gasket. I went to remove the o2 sensors from the manifold and the whoever changed them before i got the car ether crossthreaded it or overtighten it but the drivers side pulled all them theads off the sensor. Had to order one from sewell. Then i go to bolt the cat on and there is a crack in the factory weld . Now its out getting rewelded $90, and i got a spare used set ordered incase the new weld doesnt hold.

Great build up. I love to see that pile of goodies. The initiative you've taken to freshen up small bits........ always a win in my book. I'm coming from/have per say a honda background and I love attention to detail, that is the whip to my cream.

Keep up the good work. Maybe one day I'll be able to share a little bit of my own w/ inspiration like this floating around.
