Clutch disc is on


Pressure plate is on


Oh, and the shell is painted. Still needs buffing, but so far I'm very pleased.

Got a couple of pics with the wifes camera. He's going to buff her this weekend. Then she'll come back to the house on one of my days off next week. Still need to get the trans put back on the engine.

A couple of pics since the buffing is done.










I think this was where we left off...




Thanks to some extra hand the transmission is back on




OH NO! It's N/A now!




Not that you can see it, but the water and oil lines for the turbo are all done up correctly this time




Turbo and manifold back on, lines on and done, just about ready to go into the car, which should be happening next week, FINALLY!

Not that you can see it, but the core support is FINALLY welded on, she should be coming home tomorrow afternoon/evening. Oddly enough, this crappy cellphone pic shows the color better than any I've seen so far. They're in the process of doing the final polish right now.
