Update on H-swap EK

[Nathan Brooks]

So you all never got to see the gauges, well here you are!

Man...them ITR rims do sit clean on a EK nicely all the time.

As you can see here on top of my roof, you can see the paint is lifting off. This was after I placed the engine and subframe back in and decide to do the wirewheeling on the inside of the EK floor.

So I've got a few issues to fix:

• Sort the lights out
• Sort the Lean/Rich issue out
• Take out the thermostat reader housing that I broke in the head and place new one in
• Brake line issue so brakes can finally be responsive
• A/C lines
• Place in DashCam and security system.

I hope you can get this sorted out soon.

Love your build

Hey guys, i've been super busy with work, lots of repaving going on so the paving company been taking what we stockpile so been working most days 16 hours straight then on to delivering what we stockpile. <--me literally

Alright enough of my truck photos. Since today we didn't had to work i took the opportunity to clean my BLOX lug nuts with a bench grinder. Had them since 2017 so could expect it to have a bit of surface rust.

So here are the before and after shots.

So I got them in a bucket with ospho taking out all of the spots I couldn't get and then let them dry for paint.

Got the Throttle Body working again and here is the BLOX TPS.

Happy Holidays my peeps,

Today photos are progress on the trunk hinges and wheel well covers.

Now this particular hinge was very annoying, screw wouldn't unfasten so had to pull the grinder and cut it in half and hammer it out.

fInally place on the wheel well cover for the driver side. Finally set up would be when the bumper goes on and can wire up everything.

More photos to come for the nearing finale but for now, Happy New Years when it comes!

Happy New Year guys,

Yes we're 3 months into 2024 and I've been crazy busy to the part I could only look at the car and literally opened it like 6x since the start of the year LOL.

My buddy who does alot of work on H Series reached out to me and said it's time I get this beaut on the road and i agree with him!

Man let me tell you, Black EK on ITR 98 spec rims? Always slaps!
