Cleaned out the garage/work area today, since I had shit all over my tool box:

This is how the day ended:

Made a few calls to some people, and got some stuff taken care of. Head is now assembled, all plugs re-installed/capped off, water/t-stat housing on, intake manifold, all studs, fuel rail/injectors, etc all done. It's ready to drop on! I also installed the oil feed fitting on the turbo, and the exhaust housing for now, after running to get some 5/16"-18 bolts for it. Turbo is ready. Joe is wrapping the mani up, or is done (haven't spoken to him lately, as he's got other shit going on) but that should be shipped out to me by the end of the week, and get it mid next week I would think. I'm working on getting some clamps from Kevin from his work, and then I need the flanges for the exhaust dp and the lower ic pipe. I also need to remove, tuck and pound open the opening for the lower ic pipe so a 3" pipe can fit! ARG! Oh well. I also am trying to figure out how the oil cooler will mount up, or I'll just put it back between the radiator/fmic again. Haven't decided. Anyway, that's it for now!

You're making progress, keep it up! And no selling important shit like turbos and engine parts between now and when it's tuned.

Lol, as I stated, turbo was for sale for me to MAKE money on it. But, as of right now, no bites, so it's going on the car.

Update: It was rather nice out, so I opened the garage, cranked the music, and put my head down. I ran into a few hang-ups here n there, but got past them. by the time I was done, I ran outta things to install. Head is assembled, lifters, rockers, cams installed, cam angle sensor, gears, timing belt, vacuum lines, fpr, return line, fuel filter, and new lines made for that, and installed, catch can setup, upper ic pipe, tstat lines and wiring, fuel rail, injectors, clips, wiring, sensors, radiator hoses, etc etc etc. Basically, I am at a stand still, and ran outta parts.
