Been a while!
Nothing fun to post other than some scope creep.

I've been sanding a lot on the frame and firewall getting it ready to paint.



Then i started to clean the rubberized gunk off the bottom with the plan to reapply a rubberized undercoating. Well after looking at Curtis and his nice raptor liner underside I took out my sand blaster and started hitting the trans tunnel when the gunk came off pretty easy it was all down hill from there.

I wrapped the whole thing


Then started blasting.


I then started picking the last of the old seam sealer off the cowl/firewall area and found some stuff festering. This will be cleaned the best I can then my paint guy will take care of the rest.



I also scored a low mileage close ratio t56 Magnum!

Next up
Retro Fit 2011 Impreza rear seat (i hope this works)
LSA heads off to be CNC'd
Cam / Pulley swap on the LSA

As part of the effort to make the car more usable I wanted a rear seat that was more modern. This is a 2011 impreza cloth rear seat assembly. I was able to retain most of the mounting hardware with some modification. They also fold down. Here are a couple pics.

Upper section was by far the most time consuming. The main rod that allows the seat to fold needed to be shortened about 1.5" per side. I then drilled and pins the ends like subaru did to allow for the slotted bracket to fit.



The lower section was easier. It was a basic wire frame with padding. After some manipulation i was able to get about where i wanted it. I still need to add a small platform and filler foam to help level it.



The contour is pretty good by the tub

After spending what felt like an eternity on back sandblasting under the car the weather and my schedule were in agreement to spray the car with Raptor Liner.

I used the entire Upol line of Products:
1. 2002 Panel Wipe
2. Acid 8 Etching primer (no sanding needed)
3. Adhesion promoter (I'll use for touch up hard spots)
4. Raptor liner black
5. Adjustable gun sold separately (better than the supplied one)
6. Upol seam sealer - Probably my least favorite product used i feel like the 3m fast and firm stuff spreads better. I used it since it was all made to work together

I am really happy with it. If you want a finer texture you must buy the other gun. I am so glad I did. I have one or two spots that need a touch up but it came out better than i thought. I'm glad I took the extra time to do this.

Primer - The trans tunnel is ugly not my best work but its welded good, clean, and functional.





Raptor liner sprayed the transition from the firewall will get cleaned up when my body guy does the firewall in black.

In the quest for power i wanted to make sure not one component was over powering another. Typical builds with LSA are big pulley and cam. While that is still the plan all that extra boost and cam won't do any good unless it get in and out head easier. So.....FED did their stage 2 cnc work with Manley stainless 2.180″/1.600″ intake and exhaust valve combination. This also includes their PAC spring kit. Cam will likely be BTR stage 3. My goal is 750-800 crank which seams pretty attainable without over boosting the crap out supercharger. The blower case and snout will be enlarged like most builds to help air flow. Car should be delivered this week to my paint guy to finish the firewall and frame.

Nice project! Welcome.

[Nicks67camaro]

Few more updates. Firewall finished, Cam swap, ATI damper on, new oil pan on and blower case getting machined to help it breathe.






drilled and taped for a 1/2npt to 12an for blower lid



Blower machining - This will help it breathe!
