Yesterday, I stated working on my latest project. I am taking my 951( used to be my daily driver, now I have a civic) and taking everything out of it and putting all of that stuff in a new / better body/ chassis(which is Dan's [XSBOOST90's]old car). The reason i am doing this is because my car was rusting out and the paint was ****. This way, I can clean every part and start new. I am trying to take lots of photos on the way and this will take a while to complete since I work/ go to school. Yesterday, I worked on the 951 for 7 hours and was able to remove some stuff. Its easier doing this now as I have done a chassis swap before with my 944S and a turbo shell.
Here is the work from 2-23-12:

I did something similar about a decade ago, it is a lot of work for sure, but rewarding too.
Good luck, looks like you are making some nice progress so far.

UUgghh... brings back memories of retubbing my race car a few years back. Moved everything, including brake lines [ABS into a non ABS tub] and harnesses.
Easy Guide to Re Tubbing:
Step 1 - completely diss-assemble TWO cars

I just finished the same project....its a long and dangerous road. While the motor was what turned out to only be "install a new head gasket" ended as a complete rebuilt engine. Every seal, gasket, bearing was replaced and I can assure you that every tool in your collection will be used.

I just finished up working on the car for another 9 hours. I did manage to break 3 things on the way which I am not happy about. The first was the radiator drain plug which many people break. The other two were the bolts that hold the trans x- member on. Both were hammered to break free and torched yet both still snapped in half. The hardest thing was getting the dme and klr and piggyback wires up to the engine bay. To do this, I recommend removing the glove box.

very nice. I have the same jack and the same combo of jack stands. How was dropping the engine with the TT? i never done like this before. I assume its way easier.
