Thank you!!
I need to drop the car off this Saturday so they can start on the body work and paint... so instead of getting the car running I am going the other direction and removing the engine and transmission, tank, suspension bits. This way, I can continue to work on the engine and have it ready for when the car is ready. The only thing I need to do is replace the injector boots, o-rings, check that all the vac lines are in place...
Keeping a list of a few things pending order:
Through hood center filled gas kit
Original Chrome Side Mirror, 911 (like the ones on the 1974-76 cars)
Headers
Dual tip muffler
911-355-618-01 - Hard brake line from front coupler to left front flexible brake hose - just a a safety measure as it looks like the rest of the lines were replaced
911-355-617-03 - Hard brake line from front coupler to right front flexible brake hose- just a a safety measure as it looks like the rest of the lines were replaced
New brake rotors (calipers were rebuilt, pads are new)
Two H4 Replacement Lens - the ones on the car are pitted, not sure how to bring them back to looking like new
Two European Front Turn Signal Lens, Clear
Used the Momo Prototipo Steering Wheel - Silver on the RSR so I need to order another one
Four Porsche Aluminum Valve Stem Support for Fuchs wheel - I just think they look cool and give the valves/wheels a nice finishing touch
Duck tail

Last night I got to do the list of all items prior to engine and transmission drop... also got all the oil lines out of the car, took out the calipers (two are new, a third one was restored, one is pending restoration but it is rebuilt), got the door handles off the car, etc.
So for the engine drop I:
Drained the oil... still can't get used to the amount of oil our cars use... cool
Detached battery ground strap
Unbolted shift coupler
Removed sway bars (rear one needs to be removed, front one I just removed to avoid getting any overspray or paint on it... a lot of parts in this car were powdercoated).
Got all the wires out of the way (reverse backup, speedometer cable, starter cable), disconnected the clutch cable, disconnected engine wire harness...
Removed accelerator linkage
Removed the CV Joints/shafts
Removed all the oil lines (including the side hard lines and front oil coil), heater hoses, fuel lines
Got the hydraulic table cart from Harbor Freights. 200.00 well spent.
Father-in-law with mandatory in-engine-bay photo
I could not be left out of this ritual, lol. Oh, and pardon the shirt, hehehehe
And is time to take the car to the bodyshop for fender fitment, fixing three rust spots, and a complete respray!!!
With the engine out I also took the time to remove the oil tank, cruise control stuff, engine bay padding (I want the engine bay painted in the same color), and a few more things from the interior...
Pending is removal of dash (will wait until the guy at the shop removes the windshield. Also need to remove a few other bits of interior pieces to get them out fo the way. Headliner is in great condition, so that stays put.
That is all for now. The wait starts on the body....
I will take the time now to install the new sparkplug wire set, new injector, and other new parts that go in the engine. Will also check for vac hoses condition and change those as needed.

Some progress... I have been traveling for two weeks due to work... so only have the photos that Alejandro has sent me via the phone.
The bumper needed a lot of work. Would not fit as it came so he had to cut it in half and cut some of it to make it work
Fuel filler removed and welded shut. Mirrors holes welded shut.

When I dropped off the car with Alejandro, body shop guy, (more like an artist with metal and fiberglass work...) he noticed that a couple of parts were missing. This is where the Project List from Pelican works wonders. I can store everything I need in there and then move to the cart when ready to buy it. Anyway, ordered the following from Pelican:
1. Molding on the bottom of the rear quarter window... missing from the car - Ordered!!
911-543-195-02-70K-OEM - Rear Quarter Window Lower Molding (Left) 911 Coupe (1974-89) Black Only Brand: Genuine Porsche
911-543-196-02-70K-OEM - Rear Quarter Window Lower Molding (Right) 911 Coupe (1974-89) Black Only Brand: Genuine Porsche
000-043-129-00-OEM - Ribbon (for the above molding), 5 meters 911 Coupe (1974-89), Brand: Genuine PORSCHE
900-144-009-00-OEM- Tapping Screw (B 2.9 X 13, 2 required), 911 (1974-89)
2. Need to order a couple of brake lines just as a safety precaution:

911-355-617-03-OEM - Front
911-355-627-04-OEM - Rear

914-355-667-00-OEM - Three way line "T"
3. The Door Striker Plate, Left, and Right need to be replace, unless they sell rebuild kits. The inner plastic pieces are broken, or breaking apart depending on what side you look at - Ordered and got them!!
993-531-029-00-M737
993-531-030-00-M737
4. Car has a new set of amber turn signal lenses... but I love the looks of the clear ones: European Front Turn Signal Lens, White, fits left or right (1974-89)
5. Back-Up (Reverse) Light Switch on transmission with Rubber Boot Cap (for back-up light switch) - Got it!!
6. Need two H4 Replacement Lens, as the ones in the car are very pitted... 911-631-927-00-M14
7. CV Joints plates were missing... not sure if these are really needed. But might want to install them anyway... - 911-332-191-00-M100 - 12 needed
8. We used the new steering wheel on the RSR, so I need to order another Momo Prototipo Steering Wheel - Silver
9. If I decide to stick with the stock brake setup then I need four brake rotors. But also looking at TRE Boxster caliper conversion kit.
10. Chrome Side Mirror, 911 (1974-76). From TRE Motorsports - Ordered!
11. Current sport seats are going into the RSR project. So I need a new set of seats for this project. I would like to get the Sport S seat from GTS or the TRE Motorsports Classics Seats. Either one in leather and with headrests.
12. Headers and exhaust system from Brian Bodart.
13. Decided to also do a duck tail... Ordered and should be arriving today, Oct 5, 2012.
14. Through the hood center fuel filler kit - after waiting for a reply from Marek... decided to order the kit from Dave @ TRE - Ordered!
I will continue to add to this list as I continue to work in the car.

I tried ordering from Marek (check his threads on the 911S Early Registry website), the looks of what he sells is awesome. I also wanted the cool option that TRE has of a locked gas cap inside the old style cap. At the end, because of speed of delivey, I went with TRE. It was a little more expensive but it will be here this week so that the bodyshop can finish the tank.
