Hey don't forget the 1.8 & 2.0s.

still prepping the inside. just got the new timing belt on the engine and its all put together. probably going to drop the engine into the car within the next few days to make sure it sits correctly. also going to have my buddy weld the gas door shut, drill a hole in it and put one of these in there so it will be easier to fill up my fuel cell.

haha, the car is so damn light that it started teetering on the jackstands when we were putting the engine in, so we had to throw a 5 gallon bucket of silicon sealant and a bag of concrete to counter the weight. it was almost disasterous.


but.......THE ENGINE IS IN!!
