Had some good friends help me out with the welding, now I need to install the new cooling system (Thanks Carltalon), my VC with (2) -10an lines, calan catch cans, and UR Ultra light PS pulley with all the latter being powdercoated Satin Black. (Thanks Dark2g).
Just need to find time between work, house shopping, idiot landlords flooding my bathroom/hallway, etc. Week of the 9th I should be able to get some stuff done.

Awesome to see you've had some time to work on it now. Feels good to get shit done that isn't just cleaning up after the kids haha

yeah it really does. Just need life to stop throwing hurdles. But it feels really good to feel determined about stuff again and make progress with it.
But it's also thanks to a lot of good people around me too. This upcoming week I should make some good progress.

Sorry for the lame, no pic updates.
Last night, cleaned up a spare oil pan and oil drain line. Got it installed, along with the Tcase.
Put on the thermostat housing tonight, need to find my sensors now and I can't find my TB.
It's gonna be all kinds of random shit that will kill me with this car.
Tomorrow I'll pick up a FP manifold and try to get the turbo system all bolted up (exhaust, IC pipes, then I need to figure out an intake pipe and such.)

Another lame no pic update.
But now finally have all the pieces I think. FUck i need to order a battery, but I found my S90 buried in the attic at my moms, then found a box of hardware of mine at my ex's.
Hoping to have it done soon, gonna stay up late the rest of this week. But I need to pack to move, pack to get the place I live sold/shown/listed, ready to host family members in about 2 weeks for 5 days. It never ends.

Went to start it last week, found my water pipe was checked and then it wouldn't start. Pulled the injectors and they are currently with the injector cleaning place. I'll get them back Friday when I get back into town.
But he is saying they are seized so i might be fuckdd on that end. Goal was to be driving it by this upcoming Saturday for Jaxon's birthday.

Good news, my injectors were salvageable.
I'll pick them up this evening and see I can get this tucker started. It's been 4 years to the day since it has run.
