Thanks man! It has been a blast working with my old man on the project (he seems to have a never ending wealth of knowledge) .

Finally got around to working on the car. I dropped the subframe to make room for the motor and tranny/transfer case tomorrow. Stay tuned for install pics tomorrow. A couple of goodies came in this week as well.


Subframe out



Synapse DV and Carbotech XP-20's

Dropped the motor in tonight. Taking out the sub frame make life so so so much easier and smoother getting the motor and drivetrain in. I made good progress on hooking up the wire harness (90% done). Little by little. Hope to have the motor fired up middle of this week if I can find sometime.


She is in.


Subframe back on. I ran the new turbo oil line too.


Parting shot for the night.

^The oil line came with the turbo from MAP.

Well tonight was not my night to work on a car.....I struggled and cursed up a storm just doing simple stuff it seemed. I didn't get as far along as I wanted or planed. Any who on to the pics:



Windshield got reinstalled today.


My dad whipped up another heat shield to protect my sensor. It turned out sweet


Bought $150 worth of fluids..... :tear:


Got the turbo complete, ran the new turbo feed line, Radiator is in and a few small things.
