      Here is an update. I got the head/timing belt and water pump on. Working on all the routing. Since I got this as a basket case I'm working through photos trying to get everything in the right locations....Here are some pics.

            Here's another update. I finally got some time to work on the car and the weather is changing so the wife wants her parking spot back. Her new car came in so now I'm under the gun to finish up.


            So here I go....More parts are coming in.

                So I start removing the rear suspendsion to put my nice fresh subframe and AKG bushings. It literally takes me two weeks of beating and heating to get the old subframe out. The metal sleves froze into the body...what an ass kicking! I was sore as hell. The worst operation I have ever done on any car I've ever worked on and that says a lot. I have worked on all kinds of old stuff! Any way...moving on. So arms are intstalled and subframe goes in like butter. I put the Bullies and IE3 springs in and now I'm putting on new stainless brake lines. I have to change the abs wire connectors to the TI setup. I have new rotors and pads coming...then the rear end should be done. Bad pictures but you get the idea

                  I got a 2.93 lsd diff and resealing it. The diffs in good shape. Should have it back in this weekend. Then back to the front. Installing the pan and dropping on to the mounts. Need to finish up the manifold issue. I'm changing to an external wastegate.....havent been able to find one thats not a bad ebay or over $1300. So I'm thinking of converting this one. Haven't made up my mine yet. If any one has one forsale point them my way...

                                Real nice. What are your crank case vent setup and exhaust plans?
                                Also, what fan is that? Looks like something I would like!
