Ok well I'll still let you know about the boot. I can't believe how crusty and cracked the boot is. Same with my R-side bbtb the oxidation really got to it, so another thing powder coated. Guess thats from sitting or two years no movement.
Maybe one day someone will give me a heads up on the flywheel. I have a few days before I decide what I'm going to do. Found a clutch won't be going turbo for a while if I choose to do so later. Now just looking for that flywheel. I'd get fiza's flywheel but damn they are expensive, wouldn't mind a used one but hopefully not to beat up. I'll go with a cro-mo steel one for now its from what I read on the boards 11ish for the weight and stock is 16ish. A little lighter is fine for now. If I can't find a decent flywheel replacement then I will just resurface my current one, I'm sure it needs it..

Redz got a little caught up on the boot but will get out to a motorcycle shop after the weekend. I picked up a stage 2 clutch and have two deals I'm working with at the moment for a flywheel. I'm just looking for which is better to go with for that stage 2 clutch a chromoly one or fidanzas flywheel?

i like what you're doing. once you get her to run, you should use her as your primary car. then when you turbocharge her she'll be a weekend driver. that is if you turbocharge.
the paint looks hot! i've got to read page 2 here before i say more.
ok so what ever happened to the GK?
