Projects Coupe is FINALLY done

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Chris, Jan 25, 2009.

  1. I'm sure most of ya are 'bout tired of see this, but the engine swap is finally DONE! It took one year to transform my A from stock to what you see here, the engine being the last thing. I took it for a spin today, it really hauls ass compared to the stock A engine, and sounds good too!!

    Your coupe is one of my favorites. Shows how much a little restraint can do for a car.
     
  7. BenD, you said it perfect.
    Weld done Chris, looks frickin killer!

  8. if the new one is bigger and better things i'll be happy to take the other off your hands! j/k car looks sick man.
     
  9. Chris, good job it looks great! What brand are those air filter elements in the Edmunds air cleaners? Did you get them off ebay?
     
  10. Thanks everyone.
    Don't know what filters they are, came inside the air cleaners. Bought em at a swap meet. I'll pull em apart and see if they have a part number

    Chris,

    For as big a fan as I am of chopping the shit out of model A's I have to say I absolutely love your coupe. It's one of my top three favorite HAMB cars. Congrats on a beautiful coupe.

    Makes me wish I got a complete stocker rather than rough body!
     
  27. That turned out very nice, subtle changes. What about that 29 roadster?:cool:
