So, I previously referred to this project as Project Mouse Hunter, but once Chris (the owner) saw it, he gave me one of those looks. We came to a quick agreement that it will now be called Alley Cat.
.
So here we are.
.
We got it started, new starter was needed, and since then oil has been dumped and replaced, overall inspected, and cleaned up a lil.
.
We’re planning this build so it’s not a rush, but to give you a hint, the 5.0L H.O motor will remain with some added “enhancements”, suspension will see a drop with shocks and springs, body will be smoothed and painted and of course, the various other maintenance items such as ball joints, tie rods and fluids will all be fixed up.

So ya, just topped off another week here and things are moving along.
.
Lotsa oil this week, well that’s nothing new, but also started work on this year’s Cornwall Fireball Enduro car.
Picked up this 1993 Acura Legend and am in the process of converting it into a lean mean derby machine.
Now, when the car got here, it had no brakes, head gasket is gone, cooling system was full of sludge and it had no power at all. I mean, NO power, but the sunroof worked!
I flushed the cooling system, changed the plugs, removed the airbox and charged the battery and I can finally chirp the tires from a stop. By the time it’s done, there will be nothing but an engine, seat and steering wheel. Nothing flammable or breakable.
Stay tuned for more of the build, its quite fun! Also, gonna load some pics of the cars we had in here this past week..

Cheers!
