The idea of the vinyl wrap come from some guy in Tennessee, I forgot his name, but its the one that I bought the lowering springs from and is a standup guy. :-)
I got bored with my SC once I got the interior finished, and decided to go ahead and do it. I have always wanted to, but just couldnt justify it. Why the need for going fast is so crucial. Its not, just for my complete satisfaction that it is there under my right foot and it hopefully turns out better than I am expecting. My soon to be SC Sleeper.

I got the ac lines from Richard (aka 8052jz) on here. He luckily had all of the lines just lying around. They all appear to be in good shape.
I am currently awaiting pictures of the manifold (T4), the downpipe, complete exhaust with a HKS carbon fiber slip on, and Tial 44m wastegate. Its off of my buddies car from Atlanta. He is curently swapping everything over to a 2JZ, and this is what I have dibs on!

A very little progress done today.. and I mean very little, but it is coming along with a recovery from knee surgery. I cant hardly bend completely, so it makes it that much more harder.. I should wait but then what would everyone be able to look at on here today? :-)
This come in the mail today.. Thank you! I will try and install this tomorrow after Alabama beats Kent State, TT fuel pump!
Here is now what my SC looks like. I measured the plastic on the clutch cylinder twice. I thought it was a 1" hole, but it ended up being a 1" 1/4". I got it too fit, and it worked perfect.
Resanded down the fan shroud, it was too shiny for my liking, now perfect for me. It appears still shiny, but its not as bad as it looks.

Went to install the TT fuel pump and now my car will not crank. I have double check all of the fuses and the wiring, and its good. I soldered the wires together and then heat shrinked them. I want to double check the green wire from the stock SC is +, and the black is ground. Is this correct? I may have bought a bad used TT pump?

I figured it out.... I had a brain fart and forgot to plugin the connectors on the back side of the fuel tank.. OOOOpppsss! Works great and it seemed to be quieter to me than the SC factory one. I was right, the green is positive and the black is ground. Works great! Here is a few pictures along the way..
The seat out...
Pop off the cover with a small flat head or knife putty (metal one). Remove the few 8mm bolts.
Remove either the top or bottom metal clip. I chose the top one. Before I put it back together, I put a new one on, just assure it.
Then remove the (3) 12mm bolts that holds the pump and mechanism in place. Turn side ways and remove it.. Then unplug the factory plug.
Then cut the wires about an one inch or so, in case you need to reuse it. Black is ground, and green is positive. Unplug the bottom clamp off of the stock one and remove, amke sure you have something to catch the fuel runoff. Upon reinstalling use a new clamp.
Then solder the wires together, make sure they are long enough. Then heat shrink it. Then reinstall everything back. I would double check the pump before would reinstall, so you dont have to uninstall it again..
Here is a good link about several different fuel pumps and just how good the OEM TT is compared to others.

Yes it is. It seems that when everyone starts a thread about their swap, they already have several parts. This is a little different type. They will be a ton of pictures once the dissmantling starts. I still have several parts to find and order but I am not rushing it. So far I have been patient and it has paid off!

Just read all of this, looking really good man. If you need any help just let me know. I don't mind riding out there if you need some help!
Who is doing your harness?
Also I have an awesome clutch shop in town that makes custom clutches. I had a 6 puck sprung in my w58 and it was awesome. I ran a ACT HD pressure plate and had lots of fun LOL.
