UPDATE:
Most have seen the plates and here is an update with pics.
Wiring is mostly done. Im as far as I can go without the engine in the car.
Rear suspension out and gas tank out. I have the 2 front bolts for the gas tank in and working on removing the FWD tank mounting brackets but I broke my drill bit and Im too lazy to go buy another one :)(right now).
I have everything I need except exhaust and fluids.Here are some pics I just took.
Interior all torn apart.

As you can see I had to drill some holes for the front tank bolts(on the inner side of the seat mounts/holder thingys)

This should be going pretty fast now all I have to do is find time to work on it. These last few days have been "top down weather" and Im getting pissed!
Let me know what you think!

[FattyBoomBatty]

so is it pretty easy to bolt in that rear sub-frame? Or is there some fab involved?

Lookin' good! Are you doweling the mains on the engine? This is a must if you are putting ARP mains in. It will cost a little bit more for the machining (line honing and installing dowels), but it really should be done. I lost my first rebuilt engine because the engine builder didn't do this.

Are you finished with the wiring? And why do you have two pairs of tin snips under the car? Problems with the heat shield? Still have a bit to go, but you could pull it off before the leaves start to change color. It's only April. As for finding the time, JUST MAKE THE TIME!!

[blageo23]

All you have to do to install the rear is put some bolt in(holes already there) and bolt it up.

As for the motor. Im not sure if im going to have it dowled yet. probably tho.

The wiring in mostly finished just have to wait to get the engine in to route all the wires where they need to go. The tin snips were for the fuel lines(hard lines) I had to cut them off to get them all the way out.

Im hoping to get this out and running by FOR SURE the end of May. Hopefully ALOT sooner!

That will be sweet. AWD spyder. BTW, it looks like the back is floating.

[blageo23]

Hopefully all the parts are good. I was just thinking that I have no clue on the mechanical condition of the tranny. So hopefully it doesnt grind!

Looks nice. Man is it nice to have the top down in this weather... Ha ha

[92EvilTalon]

Yes tease him. Might get him to work on it faster. Wow looking really slick. Are you going to tuck the wires down by the rear Motor mount or how you running them up to the top of the engine? I love to copy your work when I get my car back. I think the wiring in the engine bay is to cluttered.....

Looking good man! Keep going & keep taking pics!
