I dunno, it was warm enough tonight where I didnt work with gloves on most of the night. Just bundled up the rest of me (I love wool socks in the winter). Photos transfering... And it's 12 degrees with 24 mph winds

Okayyyy, not a huge update, but an update none the less.
Block pretty much ready to go. Waiting on piston rings (in the mail) then I gotta grab my coated bearings from Chris and the euro pistons go in/short block goes together.
968 LSD 6 Speed got here, need some cleaning but otherwise in perfect condition.
I forgot to take a photo of this stuff on the scale, but I think it came to 21#'s IIRC. (Balance shafts, covers, hardware associated with them, etc). Should rev a bit more freely.
My engine bay was always a bit of a pet peeve of mine. The firewall always looked SOOOOO messy.
So I finished my AC delete and started cleaning it up. Going to sand out the brake booster and give it a new coat, have some gold foil to coat the heat shields with, and I'm rerouting the two bundles of wires that go across the firewall so there will be absolutely nothing going there except for the ground cable to the block and the main harness poping through the firewall and below the intake.
Hmm that looks good..... guess I'll replace the clutch line with stainless while I'm at it.
More work on stripping the underbody coating. Hopefully borrowing/renting a rotisserie soon so I can do the underbody "quickly".
And I leave you with almost my entire suspension sitting in my hatch until I jack the car up get the fuel tank out and pull out the sawzall

As for the blower, it's unbolted, just not pulled (didnt take photos). I just need to get some more place to put parts both my shelving units and tables are full right now.

Mike those pics make my head spin, wow. More power to you pal for taking on such a "huge" endeavor. But you sure are making some great progress, even though it's like 10 degrees outside you nuts job!
Looks great, keep it up!

It's not that bad out, made it to almost 30 today, I wanted to work on the car but I've been busy and I'm headed out for the night soonish. Tomorrow it's supposed to clip 30, so it'll be really nice if I get home in time (have to be on the road all day tomorrow) to work on the car. I hate the fact that I say "30" is really nice.
Did finish my cam tower though this morning before I left.
