Then and now
 
I'm bored, thought I'd share a few pictures. Everyone else has the "pretty" pictures that I can't compete with. So here's just a few "substance" photos instead.

This was probably the most dramatic point of tear down. I know very few people here have ever had their engine bay in such state, guess I should be a bit proud that I got there myself, but I was too scared to be proud. And I didn't do it myself, I owe a ton of gratitude to the help of some good friends.

And here we are looking much more complete. I've still got a few things to do yet but it's so close now. I've got to get a 1" 90 for the DV hook up, need some 3/4" tubing for the PCV hookup, few more smallish hose clamps, couple T-Bolt clamps, etc.

I even cleaned up the engine bay a little. ;-)

Two main obstacles to over come yet. One is the FMIC connection on the drivers side which I believe will be solved with a correctly sized 90 degree instead of the 45 I have. And then the exhaust which presents more of a challenge. I have 3" SS pipe arriving at the house today, I just need to get things measured, fitted, cut, and welded. Hopefully all without having to flat bed the car somewhere.

Hopefully the final write-up and post will be soon. I really want to have it running and on the road next weekend but the exhaust is going to be the deciding factor on that one.

You're right; you should be proud.

Looks great. I love engine bays that look like they have engine. Very nice.

Who says the pictures aren't "pretty", that's a work of art.

You've been busy since Sat.

Little bits here and there.
 
Got some wiring to complete some time this week for my wideband sensor. Forgot all about it and I hate wiring/soldering. Could have really utilized your skills there.

wow, it sure is zooming along. The anticipation would have been killing me if I was in your shoes.
