The rolla looks like it's turning into a monster. Should be damn sexy with the rotary whirl.

The carrier is an 8.8 from a ford truck ( like an explorer or expedition) mod to fit the rolla. It has Strange axles, aerospeed brakes, 4.10 gears with a Detroit Locker and A Moser cover ( 15 HP just for the Moser brand, haha. J.K)

Powder Coating

We currently aquired a Powder coating Setup.
I'm planning to do some work on my engine bay ( nothing mayor), Pulleys, alternator fan, alt brackets, etc
Any ideas...
Oh and by the way, anyone in Fl that needs some parts powder coated let me know

You don't really fall into de FL (florida) category, but If its a couple of parts maybe shipping wont hurt you. Plus we've done business before so you know I'm a nice guy (you 2), and I will give you a VERY descent price.

im staying with the t56 for now, which is back in working conditions, The other tranny is done but its still in PR. But is on my plans to have some padles.
On the other hand, Im pretty happy with the way the car is comming out this time around. Engine bay is finally looking like I wanted, all wires are hidden, ordered All new injectors, New steering wheel and quick release, A/C is going back in, all the megan racing bars are installed, and a whole bunch of new goodies. I'm Happy
