Cool man! I bought a boost gauge today, woohoo... I think I'll get the seats back in tonight to get started. Nice and easy. Then this week I'll get the rear done. I think after that I'll get the engine/tranny put together. I need to make a formal project project plan. I work well with lists. \:\)

Hallelujah, I'm buddies with an exhaust guy and my girlfriends dad was a welder for 30 years! \:D

Not anymore... Couldn't find anything in the garage after my roommate did his transmission swap so my friend and I spent tonight cleaning the garage.. Fifteen black trashbags and ten or so boxes later, I can see the car.... And more importantly work on it. No progress tonight, but enabling progress for tomorrow.

Handed my INDY intake manifold off to get the halves welded together. Also double checked the rear suspension, it's done already. \:D

NICE.

Plan for tonight is to get fuel line mounted, pull intake manifold (Again!) and figure out how i'm getting the starter wired once and for all.

Stretch goal, unhook the goddamned hub YET again so a buddy can lathe it down for me.

Control arm mounted and measured for spacers between the sphericals and pocket? Done!
Garage more clean? Indeed.

Productive night.

Shit man, no worries.

Thursday is my "go drink beer with friends" night, so you won't see me do shit tomorrow.

Tonight was my "drink beer with car" night.



Turbo: INSTALLED.
Control arms: measured for sleeves.

Now i can see how to run the turbo drain better than before; once that's in, I can button up the axles, which lets me get the hubs, alternator and a couple other things in line. Never found my old drain line. Looks like i get to buy another.

Holy fuck silicone drain line is expensive. Had the dude at carquest cut me 2 feet, because we both figured about 3.50/4.00 a foot. We both went off when it rang in around 12.50/ft. He cut me a break on the price, but daaaamn. Still out 8.60/ft. At least the turbo drain will be in though.

Bought lugnuts, various fittings and transmission fluid at Summit today. Then I got oil inlet and drain lines along with a turbo oil filter on Ebay.

I need to get my oil pan and bung to the welder. While that's in the shop I can get the front Prothanes (I bet if I look hard enough I'll find a few other things to do...).

Turbo drain, plumbed.
Crank scraper, installed.
Crank scraper, uninstalled.
Windage tray that fits close enough to BE a crankscraper, installed.

I've lost two engines now to oil starvation. NEVER AGAIN.
