Update 27 December 2009

These pics were taken when i was in Jakarta for Xmas holiday. At first, I expected to have The Dog ready for engine swap for Xmas so that when i am back for the holiday, i would be able to move it to the engine workshop. That's not the case, sadly. As you can see from the pics, it was not quite ready for pickup. I am going to fit the stock engine first just so i am sure nothing is missing. I could skip fitting the stock engine and have The Dog towed but i am worried that some important parts might be missing. Having it fitted and running will ensure that i still have all the crucial parts, possibly needed for the engine swap. By the way, i am trying a different image hosting server, what do you think?



You may notice that i didn't fit the carpet in. I prefer not to have it as i want to be able to know as soon as possible if rust is starting to eat the floor again. I will have some rubber mats just to place my feet but that's it.

  1. F_CKIN MINT BRO......., like where you are headed with the no carpet idea, i wont be putting that rust trap again, car looks sweeet, bet it would look sweeter in person =(, too bad im all the way across the globe, another thing other than no carpet i plan on doing is those zinc strips i wont be putting those back, i will be using a rubber lining instead of those zinc strips

  2. if you're not putting back the carpet again, i suggest you avoid applying anti-rust coat for the whole floor. just apply where it matters and keep the paint color open.

    zinc strips are the ones around your windshield, am i correct? or are they the water channel chrome strips? i might follow your idea :)
