I wish you were my neighbor. Are you trying to embarrass the factory?

All I can say is either you’re not married or you have the best wife in the world. My wife grills me every time a part shows up at the house and she would have left me around the second page of your project...
Keep up the great work. !!

And she probably doesn’t let you use the sink, the dishwasher or the oven for car related jobs!

I certainly do not envy you! ;-)

I’ve just ordered an engine hoist. I probably will be dropping in the engine within the next two weeks.

At the moment working on a bracket to get a double din radio (short body) into the console. Pictures pending.
Still looking for a (local) supplier for Tial 38 wastegate plates.
Still waiting on the aircon compressor rebuild.

Awesome! My engine has been in for two months and I can’t believe I’m still “tying up ends.” Granted it’s been a busy fall, so slow going for me. Looking forward to more pics!
