Default 2007 TBSS Rebuild

I picked up a roller a while back and finally got a donor to finish her... Im rebuilding the Red one. Was going to just build it (turbo build), but looks like she has to be stock to get the title back to a "rebuilt". So I have to put everything in the red one... Fix the title and THEN build it.

But atleast that way i can get all the little bugs worked out before the build...

The Donor:











The Roller:

Looks like some good progress.

How far is the red one taken apart?

Red one still has most of the interior. I need to go find some suede to do the headliner. And order some plasti-dip to do the pillars.

Wanted to pull the body harness and install the new one at the same time, so kinda waiting for that.

Sending in the Seatbelts to get fixed tomorrow too.

Its enough work just basically doing one. You're really almost doing two at the same time.
Thats alot of work but end result should be good!

Red one I bought as a roller, It was a theft vehicle.


The 16s do NOT fit. The calipers are sitting on the lower aarms. I have no clue what they are off of. They were on the red car when i purchased it. Apparently when it was stolen they swapped rims too. Luckily they left the calipers attached.

Not really. Most of them are going in the roller that is already sold.

What did you use to black out the interior? Mine has a suede headliner and I really want to paint the above console and "oh shit" handles to match..

Its called Plasti-Dip. There are several write-ups on how to do it. I was skeptical at first, but it does actually look stock.

It was dead at work today, so i bailed early. Was able to get some more work done...




Still have some touching up to do around the buttons...


Efans! Mounted them all together, so they are ready to drop in.


Motor and trans went in.









Of course I noticed the motor mounts are shot, but they seem pretty easy to install with just lifting up the motor a couple inches. Need to order them tomorrow.
