Well I'm not sure where i left off, but I know I haven't updated with pics for a while so I'm going update some past posts with pics here and then keep going with what is current.

Studs in block to prevent stripping threads in block, also feels tighter.

Parking Pawl, make sure that it goes into the manual valve or it will make you fill a diaper on startup, not to mention waste time and fluid and patience.

I took a pic of these wires because if you have owned a 1G you know how these suck,they aren't terrible but could be better. I plan to extend these like I did on my old car, it made pulling the cluster a ton easier.

Well that's all the pics I have, I'll have to upload the new ones I have.

After dyno day I went out with the car and launched at about 28psi and broke the rear driver's axle in the rear end.
The following week I pulled the rear end with the help of some friends, found the new rear end was missing bolts and something else so I decided to pull the whole rear subframe, its sat untouched until tonight where I finished putting in poly bushings in the rear mustache bar and then decided to say F that to the rest of it till winter when I hopefully have more time and money.

I also installed solid driveshaft carrier bushings and I filled the driveshaft carrier bearings (1st time ever in 7 DSMs!) So we will see how that goes. Thankfully I had Mo right there when I was filling the bearings and he gave me the how to, pretty simple but def. was easier with him there.
Thank you.

I'll try and update soon with more pics and such, car should be together tomorrow.

Awesome job on the gauges Aaron.

Do you look at the ones where the heater / fan stuff was while driving?
