| ^Human 3S Wikipedia ![]() | i contacted James when i got the n/a engine out, and told him that it would be a shame to drop the new engine in without doing something about the condition of the filthy engine compartment. i really wanted a power washer for my new shop, so i bartered with him and he bought me one to deep clean the engine bay ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() a really big improvement after degreasing and power washing. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() but it still doesn't look great with all the scratches, faded paint and rust that was hidden by all the grime. so i told James that now would be the time to spend just a little more time tearing things down and prepping for paint ![]() |

| ^Human 3S Wikipedia ![]() | heres how i easily removed and reinstalled the front sub-frame. ![]() ![]() next up, i converted the 1995 non-turbo wiring harness to work with a 1991 TT ecu and low impedance injectors the TT engine uses. ![]() ![]() ![]() here are my notes i posted up on the wall to figure out the wiring. the sun and heart my girlfriend colored turned out to be an integral part of the engine wiring harness conversion. ![]() here James is restoring the rear sub-frame, that was used as an anchor on a salt water ship for 15 years. i didn't take any before pics of it, but the entire thing was encrusted in rust, almost every piece of hardware broke upon removal, i've never seen a part from our cars so rusty. James busted his ass and wire wheeled the whole thing down and put some 2 part anti-rust self etching primer on it. lots of work. ![]() ![]() the shopping cart turned shop cart has been very handy ever since it appeared in front of my shop a few weeks ago. |

| ^Human 3S Wikipedia ![]() | now that the front end of the car is back together, it's time to start the AWD conversion. now it's a welding cart ![]() 25 year old hair follicle fail, it could be from my brain overheating with ideas. ![]() ![]() James's hard work paid off with the restoration work on the rear end. ![]() see how the FWD studs are too short in length and diameter to pass though the AWD rear subframe rear mount. ![]() |
