Another S-12 reborn

Hey, did the first run today on my rebuild! All looks good so far, real smooth. Almost three years ago blew the head gasket and was ready to give up on this thing. Then I discovered Club-S12 and learned what I could do for this car. CA18ET (yea, I know, don't tell me) T25, Blaster coils, fmic, ARP studs, Cometic metal head gasket, SS Auto divorced dump pipe, plus all kinds of things from OEM Surplus and the Club. Thanks especially to Keith, he's da man! My car is somewhat like his, keeping with a lot of the original theme of the design. I still have a ways to go, it's hard finding time and $$ to throw at this project, but I plan to still have it going when my 7 year old is old enough to drive it.
Right now I matched up the OEM exhaust to the SS Auto pipe and they actually fit close enough to bolt up! Still leaks a bit. Got to get it registered again, and get an inspection sticker, then I'll be out there joining the fun!

Good to hear your s12 is up and running again. You should post some pictures when you get a chance.

Yes, I'll get some up soon, just have a lot going on! But i did get the Perma Cool electric fan operational today, and bled the clutch. So much to do, so little time...but IT DOES RUN SMOOTH! Boy am I happy about that!

Well, since I can't get the damn photos on here, here is a link to what I have at this time:

Thank you so much "Redneck"! I appreciate your help posting the pics. I now have the front end back together and have been out on the road with it. I am not trying to see how strong it is until I get the new boost gauge and the AEM f/a gauge installed. But it does have more get up and go.
