New 4" ETS Race intercooler mounted up to replace the old 3". Sure is a tight fit.

Forgot to take any pics of the process, but just rebuild the power steering pump with an OEM kit. Blasted the engine mounting bracket and resprayed it. Baby steps

Finally started working on the car again, it's been slow making any progress, but it's getting so close.

Engine installed

-4an lines for the wastegate/ boost controller

making up hoses for fuel, catch can, etc.

Test fitting the intake and wiring up a dual fan relay, got the passenger side fan mounted. Just waiting on some deutsch pins and a 10" pusher for the driver's side to come in.

just enough room to squeeze the spal 10" pusher in

wired up real clean like with some deutsch DTP connectors

brushless 12" proform puller on the back side

Cleaned up the hose routing a bit with some separators

First time off jack stands in 9 years!

I'm moving the car to my shop tomorrow to get it on the lift to complete the next phase of the build. Going to clean and restore the undercarriage and install all new parts including a natfab tubular subframe.

Here's part of the fleet already at the shop

The gang's all here

Things are getting pretty serious over here. Dropped the gas tank

Rear diff, subframe etc. all coming out

So much room for activities

Out with the old

Next up the plan is to clean the undercarriage, paint it, and then undercoat it. Getting everything prepped for the natfab tubular rear subframe & trailing arms to go in. Basically everything will be new or freshened up.
