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.

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.
