well it's in, bolted to the mount and the trans is safety wired up since I don't have the cross member :mad:
been a real bitch working this weekend as I've had a migraine for about 5 days now :mad: :mad:

to do:

install trans X member and torque arm
wiring harness
fuel system
cooling system
reinstall brake system
install cluch MC

guess that's about it.

I'm kind of amazed I didn't drop the car, the engine, or both on my fat ass.

That's gotta be the shits when your all ready to go and the only thing stopping you from finishing is waiting on parts to come in.

Philip 11-12-2007 12:54 AM
